I may have cracked a smile when I heard your awful news
It's not because I don't feel awful about those things he said to you
But because it opens up a topic that I really have been meaning to talk through
I can see how you'd feel anxious to sit down and talk with me
Scars are often left by people whose intentions go unseen
But the sea remains anonymous, no boot marks left by schooner ships to see
When I cross these hills and reach my home
Dulled my pains will be
But for now, I'll keep them close to me
I promise to act normal if this all turns out the same
I promise not to keep on testing different fonts out with your name
On the pages of the notebooks that I've had with me since the seventh grade
When I cross these hills and reach my home
Dulled my pains will be
But for now, I'll keep them close to me
I've been cutting back on things that I don't need
Like food, and air, and sleep
I do it just to make more time for you
You never knew, and now you do
When I cross these hills and reach my home
Dulled my pains will be
But for now, I'll keep them close to me
But for now, I'll keep them close to me
