If I Can't Make You...

I moved away.
I got my head out of this mess
And I've been saving up my breath
In case I couldn't take that step
To try and change
Every thought that sunk this ship.
I've been swimming through your washed up lines.
I saw the coast, it saved my life.
Don't try and stop me.
All we have holding ourselves
Down is our own pulse beating.
All we have to rely on
Are memories. I can't forget.
You made your point
When you said we fell apart.
I had my words all chosen carefully,
I broke your heart so gracefully.
I watched your tears
As you recite back every word.
And every bridge I ever built,
I'll sit back and watch them burn.
Now don't sound so dramatic,
You never meant a word you said
Your voice will fade to static
And memories will just fade away.
