Sparks fly over me
But never hit where I'm standing
It puts things into perspective like
Maybe this isn't for me
My stubbornness is trying me anyway
I don't know why
I know it isn't fire
But it's enough
I can make it work
Maybe
But if you looked me in the eye
You'd notice all my flaws that I'm
Not ready to give away
But if you gave this one more try
You'd see that our last night was
Asking for you to stay
Forever this way
I think I'm infatuated with
The idea of love
A warm body to occupy my sheets never
Seems to be enough
I just want something solid to lean on
But instead I'm slipping through the cracks
Maybe it isn't fire
I'm just kidding myself
I know it won't work
I'm leaving
Let go of the lifelines tied
So tightly to the back of
Your dirty palms
Grip onto the tightrope all
Of the lines I wrote
Etched into your skin for some time
The words, they fade
In their own way
The words, they fade
And break all the same
