I can tell

Your arms are folded and this isn't going well

Started out as an honest attempt to collect myself

So now I'm outside your front door

Never noticed the sidewalk could stretch this long

Feels like I'm fifty miles from where I parked

Without looking back I know you followed me this far

That's just the way that you are

It [?] to feel your silence with me

I notice when your voice breaks

You try to hide how you feel sometimes

But not every time

I notice when your voice breaks

It happens every time

You won't say you are

I know you're scared

You're scared that I'm leaving and I won't come back

She said, "you're empty and you're fine with that

You let it stay

Like it's supposed to change"

I never bothered to ask you if you can


[?]

As some things separate from how I'm last

All these pieces I'll never get back

All the times I've come home without feeling intact

I know you're worried it's how I act

You won't say you are

I know you're scared

You're scared that I'm leaving and I won't come back

She said, "you're empty and you're fine with that

You let it stay

Like it's supposed to change

I know how dull I seem next to it

But I am giving what I have left"

You won't say you are

I know you're scared

I know you're scared

I know you're

You won't say you are

I know you're scared

You're scared that I'm leaving and I won't come back

She said, "you're empty and you're fine with that

You let it stay

Like it's supposed to change"
