lyrics

I keep my distance in a box beside my bed
next to my copy of all the things we never said.
And I keep telling myself not to get upset.
And I keep coming back for more ’cause I forget.

You bend over backwards to cover your ass.
You think you’re so clever. You think I don’t see that.
So I try not to notice, and I try not to care
and I keep thinking maybe this is going somewhere.

chorus:
But there’s nothing I can say.
And there’s nothing I can do.
I’ve got no reason to stay.
But I’ve got nowhere to run to.
This is me, and I’m wondering if you’ll come through.
I’m holding my breath, holding my breath, holding my breath
And turning blue.

You love your drama like I love my gasoline.
I always want to drive away; you want to stay and make a scene.
And we don’t make promises; we only make mistakes.
And we can’t fix anything, ’cause we don’t have what it takes.

chorus

I keep my distance in a box beside my bed
Next to my copy of all the things we never said.
