Curbside Goodbye

You've buried me here

And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking

You've hidden the keys to sleep

The sweet careful lines we've crossed

And now we never can go back

This is what I felt, just being myself

But I know that you wouldn't stay

Standing at my car with my reasons spent

As you drove and made your escape

The silence crushing me, like I swore it would

And I'm left watching...

Red lights fading out

(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)

As you drive back to your house

(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)

I'm here sinking and now we never can go back

I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best

This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense

You swore this was right

It was better that you're leaving but I'm here with...

Red lights fading out

(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)

As you drive back to your house

(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)

And I'm here with my curbside goodbye

This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight

As I stay awake to watch the day start without you

I'm here sinking, now we can never go back

My foundation crippled and cracked

Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt

Two people dissolve into words

Red lights fading out

As you drive back to your house

The way I've gone a hundred times

Before but now I'm left behind

So make all of this make sense

And now your voice is haunting me

Just out of reach it buries me

Is this the better off that you meant

The way I've gone a hundred times

Before but now I'm left behind

So make all of this make sense

And now your voice is haunting me

Just out of reach it buries me

It buries me, it buries me, it buries me, it buries me
