Mmh. [Verse 1] He used to think heartbreak was a clean thing. A break, a snap, you could point it as an ending. It was worse. It was the slow drip of affection. Measured out like medicine, minimal. [Verse 2] He almost wished she would leave him. Just stand up, say she was done. She stay though, she didn't leave, she didn't. Didn't let the pain do its job all at once. [Pre-chorus] Ten percent. That’s what it felt like. Ten percent. Ten thousand spikes. [Chorus] She stayed with her half-smiles, ah-ah. And with her distant eyes, ah-ah. She stayed in the doorway of his life. Not entering, not exiting, just blocking the light. Blocking the light, from ever hitting his face. Blocking the light, all becoming a darker space. She was blocking the light, or else I just might. Have left myself. [Instrumental] Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. [Verse 3] He hated how it taught him to starve. How he began editing himself down. Shrinking needs, compressing emotions He became quiet, then careful, then hollow. [Verse 4] And still she gave him the same fraction. The same thin thread of affection. That kept him tied but not held. He was closer to his final breath. [Pre-chorus] Ten percent. That’s what it felt like. Ten percent. Ten thousand spikes. [Chorus] She stayed with her half-smiles, ah-ah. And with her distant eyes, ah-ah. She stayed in the doorway of his life. Not entering, not exiting, just blocking the light. Blocking the light, from ever hitting his face. Blocking the light, all becoming a darker space. She was blocking the light, or else I just might. Have left myself. [Bridge] Just him waiting for a love that wasn’t coming. Knowing he could walk away, and not moving. There’s nothing more painful than learning... Your heart can survive on almost nothing. And that it will, if you let it. [Chorus] She stayed with her half-smiles, ah-ah. And with her distant eyes, ah-ah. She stayed in the doorway of his life. Not entering, not exiting, just blocking the light. Blocking the light, from ever hitting his face. Blocking the light, all becoming a darker space. She was blocking the light, or else I just might. Have left myself. [Chorus] She stayed with her half-smiles, ah-ah. And with her distant eyes, ah-ah. She stayed in the doorway of his life. Not entering, not exiting, just blocking the light. Blocking the light, from ever hitting his face. Blocking the light, all becoming a darker space. She was blocking the light, or else I just might. Have left myself.
