why does everyone say that line
"breaking up is the part that hurts"
like leading up to the fallout was fine
like staying together wouldn't be worse
or "everything will be okay if we try"
but what, were you not doing that at first?
why does everyone say "you're mine"
like it's cute when it's really just a curse
like it matters where our stars align
when we're right down here on earth
or like "all we need is some more time"
like it's a prayer that they've rehearsed
but it's clear from this steep decline
that i don't think we can be coerced
into believing this could go in reverse
