Now honestly, I pictured a stronger but wittier goodbye scene
You say you want to leave me like you never found me
I get it, I should move on farther than your front step
Is it bad that my reverie is the only thing my gutless mind kept
With a shake in your voice, you say we could've made it
If I let you in just far enough to make it another night
Obviously we are both to blame when we can't even find the will to make it right
And it's bad enough I have to force myself out of bed
Just to put the room back together again
It's not my fault I couldn't hold myself together before you got to the door
Every time you scream, it seems more glass hits the floor
We could sit ourselves back in front of the tv and hold another lifeless conversation
I'm just too tongue tied to let you make another bad decision
It seems like just yesterday you couldn't shake that terrified smile
Now it's as if our love dies more and more within each mile
We were so young and so out of the room before anyone could find us alone
Now I can't search any longer for the things I own
I wouldn't call this an emergency but a quicker way out
Every doorway I enter fills you with overwhelming doubt
This can't take any longer, just let me go
Please don't hold our shame up as if it just goes to show
No one can mean what they say when they cradle a bus ticket in their hands
No one tells a better lie when the truth is something no one can understand
