Between Broken Lines

(ahhhh) You leave the hallway light on Like somebody's coming home Two

cups beside the sink One has been cold for hours We talk

around the subject Like it's something that might break Every sentence gets

rewritten Before either of us speaks

I know that look

You know mine too

We're both pretending There's nothing left to lose

There's static between us And neither one will move Every word disappears

Before it reaches you

If this is where we're ending Then let the silence tell the

truth I'd rather hear goodbye Than keep losing you in the room

Your jacket's on the same chair

But you stopped wearing it here

Funny how the smallest things Can make the distance crystal clear

We used to interrupt each other

Now we wait our turn to leave

There's a thousand things I could say But none of them would

make you believe I know that look

You know mine too

How long can we keep Calling this something it's not?

There's static between us And neither one will move

Every word disappears Before it reaches you

If this is where we're ending Then let the silence tell the

truth I'd rather hear goodbye Than keep losing you in the room

Maybe we weren't broken

Maybe we just stopped repairing

Maybe love doesn't disappear It simply gets tired of carrying So don't

tell me we're alright Just because we survived tonight

SAY IT!

If you want me gone—

SAY IT!

If we're already done— Don't leave me standing In a house full

of echoes Waiting for an answer You stopped trying to give!

There's static between us But I can finally hear The truth underneath

it The thing we wouldn't face for years If this is where

we're ending I'll let the silence tell the truth I won't keep

reaching for somebody Who's already halfway through

Two cups beside the sink

One has been cold for hours

This time I don't make another
