lyrics

I can’t get near her
She’s like a mirror
Reflecting back my empty eyes

I can’t remember
Was it December?
She said she couldn’t recognize

I cannot swallow
That we’re so hollow
Empty enough to paralyze

I couldn’t realize that

Everything comes crashing down around my head
It’s what you said
What kills you only makes you dead
So don’t get strong
It won’t last long
And I always knew you were wrong
But I couldn’t make a sound
Oh oh oh oh

I couldn’t take it
The way she’d fake it
Like she thought we were just for show

I couldn’t save her
With what I gave her
She took much more than I could owe

She said she’d leave she
Said “please believe me
One day I’ll just pack up and go.”

I’m still the last to know
Everything comes crashing down around my head
It’s what you said
What kills you only makes you dead
So don’t get strong
It won’t last long
And I always knew you were wrong
But I couldn’t make a sound
Oh oh oh oh
