lyrics

i’m sorry you are gonna miss me
sorry to say that you cut off too soon
there’s no more poetry to sway me
dropped like flies in heated june

you said that’s ok with you
said you’d come over if it meant nothing to
me and i’ll lie for just a little longer
knowing i might leave
yeah, i’ll lie to say i’m easy
if it gets you back to me

don’t think too hard on it
made your bed in sonnets
tell me that you cared just a little
right now i could swear that you didn’t

don’t write too much for me
to be disappointed
every piece is a riddle -
seems you lost the thread in the middle

tell me what you wanted
every stone gathers in my throat
were you ever honest
any time you said you liked me most?

which one of us screwed up first?
was it my fault? was it yours?

i’m sorry you were gonna kiss me
sorry to say that i cut you off cause
you’d never see a future with me
fell too far into distrust

you said that’s ok with you
said you’d come over if it meant nothing to
me and i’ll lie for just a little longer
knowing i might leave
yeah, i’ll lie to say i’m easy
if it gets you back to me

don’t think too hard on it
made your bed in sonnets
tell me that you cared just a little
right now i could swear that you didn’t

don’t write too much for me
to be disappointed
every piece is a riddle
seems you lost the thread in the middle

tell me what you wanted
every stone gathers in my throat
were you ever honest
any time you said you liked me most?

which one of us screwed up first?
was it my fault? was it yours?

it’s much too late to
go back to distant dreams
fix any trouble
bursting through the seams
fold under weight of
what i call despair
ask me to salvage
our belief beyond repair

don’t think too hard on it
made your bed in sonnets
tell me that you cared just a little
right now i could swear that you didn’t

don’t write too much for me
to be disappointed
every piece is a riddle
seems you lost the thread in the middle

tell me what you wanted
every stone gathers in my throat
were you ever honest
any time you said you liked me most?

were you ever honest?
were you ever honest?
