Head down, arms crossed,
disapproval finds me.
Cold stone, make a bed of yours bones.
Harsh December strikes me.
And you
try to make a cabin from our bodies.
And you
fall through once again.
Snow falls, March rain
clung to our temptations.
Distrust runs through our veins,
dispend our relations.
And I try to take it day by day, just like you said,
but I can barely take myself
once you're gone
Winter hushes moans and you grow weaker,
feverishly tending to your wounds.
I know it's all in vain.
And I feel as though that drunken night was yesterday,
but I can barely feel myself.
(Numb our senses,
I once knew you.)
(And distance, this petty little ship we call distance.
If only things would turn out okay.)
(I cannot bear it.
We should have ended this earlier
or before it began.)
And you said that this would make us stronger.
And you said distance makes the heart grow fonder.
And you burned down our house in the summer and froze.
Once you're gone
(And distance, this petty little ship we call distance.
If only things would turn out okay.)
(I cannot bear it.
We should have ended this earlier
or before it began.)
(Numb our senses,
I once knew you.)
