You slam the door Say "You never listen" I laugh it off Then I feel the distance You fold your arms Like a shield between us I raise my voice You raise your defenses We talk in circles Till the room tilts sideways Every word a splinter Stuck in our sideways smiles We’re throwing glass in our throats Cutting up the words we choke You say you’re done I say I don’t care (But I’m lying, I’m lying) We’re standing inches apart Still a mile from the start If this is love It’s tearing us both Like glass in our throats You pull receipts From a year and a half back I roll my eyes But I feel the impact You say "I’m tired Of always feeling second" I say "You’re crazy" You flinch for a second We dig up coffins Of every old misstep Bury all the good parts Under what’s left unsaid We’re throwing glass in our throats Cutting up the words we choke You say you’re done I say I don’t care (But I’m dying, I’m dying) We’re standing inches apart Still a mile from the start If this is love It’s tearing us both Like glass in our throats You say "Why don’t you just leave?" I say "Maybe I should go" (hey) We both wait for the other to move But our feet stay nailed to the floor You wipe your eyes with the back of your hand "I hate you when you get like this" I spit "Yeah? I hate me too" Silence hanging heavy as a fist We’re throwing glass in our throats Cutting up the words we choke You say you’re done I say I don’t care (But I’m trying, I’m trying) We’re standing inches apart Still a mile from the start If this is love Then say the word Say the word Or let it go You reach for my sleeve I don’t pull away Two broken voices Learning how to say "stay"
