lyrics

I never thought this day would come,
A cloudy day with a blueish sun.
Counting crows out of my window, I know you see them too
But by the look of your hands your heart's not here.

I knew the first time you shakily came to my house.
But no matter what I said I'd no idea what you were thinking,
and I felt the air go then and your skin turned pale.
I knew something's cut you open

I'm no good at being alone.
I feel the space you left - bubbles in my sorry bones.
The pain has settled down, sitting still like kidney stones in the small of my back.

You said "Sweetie, you know what I'm gonna say."
I tensed my jawline, I saw the verbal knife inside your pocket.
You said "I feel the miles and miles eating us away
And I love you so much but I cannot do this anymore."
I felt the raindrops in my sinuses come forth
And I heard my throat collapse and scream as all it's hope was dried out.
And I pictured you right there with every other man
And I yelled inside my head "won't you love me, keep me as I am!"

Because I'm no good at being alone.
I feel the space you left - bubbles in my sorry bones.
The pain has settled down, sitting still like kidney stones in the small of my back.

I don't want to get over you.
