let's see how long we can keep this going
this is a personal best
for time spent locked in conversation
without some kind of fucking test

we both want to play the victim
because of how this hurts us
but that's the thing with martyrs,
more than one defeats the purpose
your move, heartache...

'cause i remember times
when the only thing that kept me strong
was a hollow song
a holdout on the lawn lying on my back
holding out for a heart attack
and there will be a time
when the only song you hear will be mine
won't you be mine?
and i will try to say
something kind today

you're such a pretty permutation
of everything i'll ever be
an oh-so-subtle consolation
you make that clear to me
your move, heartbreak...

'cause i remember times
when the only thing that kept me strong
was a hollow song
a holdout on the lawn lying on my back
holding out for a heart attack
and there will be a time
when the only song you hear will be mine
won't you be mine?
and i will try to say
something kind today
