When you said forever, you drove a hard bargain.
But this grip is getting looser everyday,
Like a child fighting to stay awake.
Now it seems that all that's left
Are you and me and my insecurities,
And I'm afraid there's only room for two of us.
But I wonder if you even have a clue
Just how much this is killing me,
For now I'll learn to retrace my steps
And walk down yours for the last time.
All you had to say was it's over, and it's alright,
And we could carry on.
I swear I never meant for this,
But so it is, and so it goes.
And I swear I never meant for this,
But sometimes you have to pull up roots
To make room for new ones to grow.
We're just shards of a smashed bottle,
Lost with the words unspoken.
Shimmering bright but always hollow,
We pretend we're something more than just broken.
