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 every day
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 my pieces and tuck them in the hands of time
'Cause right now all I feel is dead inside...
