lyrics
So play it again.
So I can remember how it felt to feel anything at all.
Besides abandonment and guilt.
All those counted days spent in a haze of me and you.
Tell me, do you remember?
Because I remember.
So I sleep to escape; to dream in another way.
In touch, in reach, but intangible all the same.
No, don’t you walk right back in as if you think we could be friends.
We both know what you need.
Your reason for leaving me was him.
So I’ve built a grave for three. This desert: you’ll lay next to me.
Grow old, like you always promised.
Decompose back into nothing.
Sweetheart, pull that barrel closer. Stop your hands from shaking.
So play it again.
So I can remember how it felt to feel anything at all.
Besides abandonment and guilt.
All those counted days spent in a haze of me and you.
Tell me, do you remember?
Because I remember. I remember them all.
My heart was never meant to break.
My heart was never yours to take.
Before I start to feel alone, before I choke this down my throat,
just think back on what we were.
You let it collapse for a burden, and a minute on your back.
So play it again.
So I can remember how it felt to feel anything at all.
Besides abandonment and guilt.
All those counted days spent in a haze of me and you.
Tell me, do you remember?
Because I remember. I remember them all.
I’ve found comfort in nothing; strength in keeping numb.
Though fragile and open, and pressed against your gun,
My heart was never meant to break.
My heart was never yours to take.
So play it again.
So I can remember how it felt to feel anything at all.
Besides abandonment and guilt.
All those counted days spent in a haze of me and you.
Tell me, do you remember?
Because I remember.
So I sleep to escape; to dream in another way.
In touch, in reach, but intangible all the same.
