Who could ever take more than we choose to give

I wanted my throat to be yours to slit

I'm the one who hoped you would be the same everyday

So it's not your fault if i expected that much anyway

It's never beyond your ability to justify

When I can't face the whisper in your eyes



I've stayed long enough to know

It takes a smile to see I'm nonsensical

Who could ever be determined to leave

Like some religion, you just believe

As I stare at your feet my hand reaches for the door

Even though it might seem like there won't be much left to live for

Swallow your breath and whatever things you wanna say

I just know you'll lead my hate astray



I've stayed long enough to know

It takes a smile to see i'm senseless to the soul

I've stayed long enough to know

It takes your smile to see i'm nonsensical



Just take all my pieces and tuck them in the hands of time

'Cause right now all I feel is dead inside
