You came alone.
In her place you walked me home.
And my words were clear,
but it is my heart you hear.
Well I made my choice
long before I found your voice.
Yet I'll keep your laugh
even as I'm walking back.
Back home to where I need to be,
where someone else is loving me,
and waiting there so patiently
despite all my attempts
to push her far, and push her fast,
and in the dark to break my pact.
This would rip my heart in half
if it weren't already spent.
I am leaving.
I already have.
This unceasing
pain will soon be past.
Well you came along.
Another girl, another song.
And I looked away
but it is my heart you sway.
With no way to win,
no absolution for my sin.
All I have, I lack.
Even as I'm walking back.
Back home to where I need to be,
where someone else is loving me,
and waiting there so patiently
despite all my attempts
to push her far, and push her fast,
and in the dark to break my pact.
This would rip my heart in half
if it weren't already spent.
I am leaving.
I already have.
Barely breathing.
Am I breathing?
Is this breathing?
