Pillars

When you said forever, you drove a hard bargain
But this grip is getting looser everyday
Like a child fighting to stay awake

Now it seems that all that's left
Are you and me and my insecurities
And I'm afraid there's only room for two of us

But I wonder if you even have a clue
Just how much this is killing me
For now I'll learn to retrace my steps
(And walk down yours for the last time)

All you had to say was "it's over"
And it's alright, and we could carry on

I swear I never meant for this
But so it is, and so it goes
And I swear I never meant for this
But sometimes you have to pull up roots
To make room for new ones to grow

But I wonder if you even have a clue
Just how much this is killing me
For now I'll learn to retrace my steps
(And walk down yours for the last time)

We're just shards of a smashed bottle
Lost with the words unspoken
Shimmering bright but always hollow
We pretend we're something more than just broken

But we're nothing more
We're just broken
Do you hear me?
We're just broken
