A Vow That Won't Survive

[Verse 1] Remember? Forget? Indifferent!... Hold on or let go? Is it bad? Is it good? I turn it over in my mouth Like a coin with two cold sides You said “stay,” I heard the room Then I heard the door in my head [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands half-open I keep my heart half-done One step in, one step out Till the moment’s gone [Chorus] Whoever says you can love someone For a lifetime is lying! Whoever says you can love someone For a lifetime is lying! I want the truth in my teeth Not a vow that won’t survive [Verse 2] I saved your name in my bones Then crossed it out by noon Some days I miss your shadow Some days I miss the wound You were a spark in the rain You were a storm I wore [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands half-open I keep my heart half-done One step in, one step out Till the moment’s gone [Chorus] Whoever says you can love someone For a lifetime is lying! Whoever says you can love someone For a lifetime is lying! I want the truth in my teeth Not a vow that won’t survive [Bridge] Maybe love is a season Maybe love is a train Maybe it leaves you standing With your coat full of ache If I call it forever It breaks before the dawn [Final Chorus] Whoever says you can love someone For a lifetime is lying! Whoever says you can love someone For a lifetime is lying! I want the truth in my teeth Not a vow that won’t survive Remember? Forget? Indifferent!... I’m alive when it’s unclear
