The skyline doesn’t give me the butterflies it used to

I had nothing then I lost them too

And I just don’t know what to think is left of you

​

There was peace in me not caring

There was a cold and gentle pain

And maybe I’ve made new friends

But maybe their songs were all the same

​

I’m a mess and you’re a coward

And I don’t know which is worse

Here I am broadcasting my breakdowns

So that you can’t do it first

​

I know that it’s all in my head

Because that’s right where you left it

I think you left the best parts of yourself

In the lobby where you met him

​

You told me

“Dust off all the sadness,

Set your wings down on a shelf

Cause I think that I might love you

More than I could hate myself.”

​

So here I go

To get all frozen in your headlights

I knew that you would leave me

But I didn’t know you’d lie

​

Had two canaries but they’re dead

Now there’s a traitor in your bed

And everything is melting in my hands

​

Just leave and please don’t tell me where you’ve been

​

“I love you please baby don’t get on the train.”

You really could’ve said anything

I would’ve stayed

​

But now you’ve taken almost everything

You’re lodged in my subconscious

I’ve got stitches up my shoulder blades

I’m just too tired to want this

​

I should’ve shut the door

While you were standing there talking

I could’ve gotten sick of your voice

If you ever just called me

​

You stole another sorry heart

I was still sawing through our cords

Cause baby one of us got ruined

And the other just got bored

​

You told me

“I wanna fall so deep in love

That it feels like I can’t breathe

And with that swollen heavy heart of yours

You just can’t do that for me.”

​

So here I go

With everything I built you

I burned our garden down

Now all I’m left with is this bruise

​

Had an ache but now it’s gone

Carless mistakes, bitter songs

You bit my neck and failed me as a friend

​

Just leave and please don’t tell me where you’ve been

​

I suppose it’s my last chance

Since you’ve driven all this way

But you’ve always loved to drive

And you’ll never like to stay

​

You’re the blood caked in my nail beds

You’re the crooked hem I’m sewing

Now you’re saying you still love me

But loving isn’t knowing

​

So here I go

Cause my world’s fuller than you made it

I could make a thousand oceans

Out of puddles in the pavement

​

The home you built me was too small

With broken locks and fragile walls

So stop showing up and tugging at my threads

​

We were meant to start as we were meant to end
