Closure - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I knew it was over when the fighting stopped

You were too checked out, you just gave up

But I stayed, didn't wanna let it end that way

So we went back and forth for months

Too afraid to cut our losses and walk

There was only so much we could take

It's like we're lying on the beach and the tide is at our feet

It will soon be at our heads and take our breath so

I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over

Seeing you defeated doesn't bring me any closer to closure

I am acting out of self defence, I am all out of options

I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over

The strain of time tore us apart

It's not what we want but it's where we are

And I, I know the fault is partly mine

I miss those nights when we talked for hours

About our dreams and our desires

But all that's gone, all that's left is bitterness

I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over

Seeing you defeated doesn't bring me any closer to closure

I am acting out of self defence, I am all out of options

I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over

I can hate myself for this

You can say that I'm a selfish prick

It doesn't change my mind

With both our backs against the wall

Someone's gotta take the fall

So I'll be first to cross the line

I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over

Seeing you defeated doesn't bring me any closer to closure

I am acting out of self defence, I am all out of options

I don't wanna say it but somebody's gotta say that it's over
