Coamhim - The Ballad of Midtown Marietta Lyrics

When we met each other
We never even placed a bet
But the winner would be the best
At remembering to forget
That all that dowsing fires
And burying remains
Couldn't heal the wounds
In our hearts or our brains
Our brains

You told them that our tango
Took one less than two
And as experts on performance
They chose to dance with you

I'm just a poisonous wallflower
Now that the song has changed
I'm pondering my losses
And how they're all arranged
In the far-away shapes of people
That I used to know
Telling myself in silence
To just let it go
Let it go

Passive boundaries
And a helping heart
Make the perfect recipe
For ripping men apart

So I called you up in fear
To prove that it was love
That holds my guilt so near
To the pain I'm ashamed of
But of all your secrets
I die with only one
That Midtown buried my body
Because I told you I was done

Now I don't even know
Which one of us could see
Into the victim's weakness
Was it you or was it me
It wasn't me
