Pause and Rewind

You hit the button like it doesn't hurt

Left me bleeding out on the cold hard dirt

You said "just a breather," said "give it some space" While you're

wiping the memory of me from your face A week feels like

a century trapped in a cell You called it a timeout,

I'm living in hell

And it’s sickening how easy you dropped the phone

Treating our love like a song on a tone

You pressed pause on my chest,

left the rhythm to die While I’m choking on questions and begging

why

So I’m cutting the cord,

yeah,

I’m walking away

There’s nothing left broken

that time’s gonna pay

I can't take the silence,

the ghost of your name

I’m done being anchor,

I’m done with the blame— (gasp) ...Then the kitchen light flashes,

your laugh in the hall And I’m hitting rewind just to watch

myself fall

I packed up your hoodies,

I drafted the text

Wondering who in the hell you are calling up next

I told myself: leave her,

just walk out the door 'Cause a half-hearted love isn't worth fighting

for

I walked to the edge with my pride in my hand

Ready to burn down the whole promised land

Then I see you in slow-mo

on the floor in the dark

Dancing to nothing

and missing my spark I remember the rain on the roof of

your car How you kissed every bruise,

how

you traced every scar

I hate that I want you,

I hate that it’s true—

I’d rather burn out than live empty of you

So I’m cutting the cord,

yeah,

I’m walking away

There’s nothing left broken that time’s gonna pay

I can't take the silence,

the ghost of your name

I’m done being anchor,

I’m done with the blame— ...Then the kitchen light flashes,

your laugh in the hall And I’m hitting rewind just to watch

myself fall

Put it back on play

Come what may

Don't let go... (unpause)
