Teeth you never quite sank into me You never quite held me too close for another weekend We'd pretend that you were still mine Begging for a moment of time Wishing I could hear you explain Every little reason and feeling behind your goodbye I was amazed at my skillful hand While I held you up so you looked like a man And I would've stayed but I couldn't fake it for you Fear paralyzing me to stay here Turning all my love into anger You never needed and I feed it 'til you walk away And once again I beg you to stay And once again we embrace this poisonous lie Of a future we know won't survive You were afraid of my wicked mind But it wasn't my choice to cast you aside And I would've stayed but I couldn't fake it for you But despite your smile you got nothing I want I return what you told me was your heart Now I could never ask you how I would never have the confidence to recommence The final dialogue of our past Underneath the mess that we made Underneath the bristles of time we have nothing But the judgments that plague our minds And you're still afraid of my skillful hands But I won't hold you up so you look like a man And I would've stayed but I couldn't fake it for you But despite your smile you got nothing I want I return what you told me was your heart
