[Intro: Man & Woman]

Exactly, it’s a bad idea to go directly

The paralysis is just gonna, uh, wait for you when you get—

What are you writing?

Notes

Will you stop writing what I’m saying?

Can we have one spontaneous conversation where my dialogue doesn’t end up in your next story?

[Verse 1]

Speaking with you feels like screaming at a wall

And you can barely get through there to me at all

You can break me down again, but I'm no better

Always over it, so I guess I'll just bear the weather

It’s good to fill the silence if you know that’s what you need

[Verse 2: polearm, Man, & Woman]

(What’s for me in Prague?)

(Me)

Almost left the game, you put the quarter back in

Another moment to you, I’m giving right back in

(Okay, look—)

(Let me borrow your pen—)

(I'm gonna write “Selfish girl abandons helpless boy for overrated country”)

(Overrated?)

(You could come with me, you know)

I never ask you for a thing, need no inquiry

So, why can't you ever erase me from your diary?

You’ll never get another pleasure 'long as I breathe

And I can’t handle all the pressure, buckle my knees

[Verse 3]

You’re sick, you won’t stop dreaming about me

You don’t mean it, saying you won’t breathe without me

Dragging you along, bitch, stop taking my lead

I’m keeping all our secrets safe 'til i’m long deceased

Close the backdoor, you will not escape me

Every piece of me is fragile, snap me like a leaf

But I won’t need you at the moment, you’re done fixing me

And I still miss you, it’s not like I don't want you back

Leave you begging for some more, you can have your fun with that

It still doesn’t make a difference if you ever miss me back

Maybe leave you for the winter, let's see how you cope with that

Another itch, another cut, another stitch

Not surprising in the slightest how you won’t give me an inch

I'm just sick of trying to convince you we could ever hitch

And if you light the gas then you know I’ll go burn the bridge

Damn, this life is such a—

[Outro: Woman]

You’re a foul-weather friend, ****

You’re not interested in me unless I’m suffering like you, you’re like a child sometimes

I don’t know what else to say

Do you have anything you’d like to add?
