He'll take his words to the grave
That's what he said before he broke today
Her lies are the reason he doesn't feel okay
Her past is the reason she wants to run away
He holds his breath for another day
Being happy feels like yesterday
He knows he's trying to find another way
His heart burns black through all the grey
Today she knows exactly what she wants to say
She fights a flame with a blanket everyday
She wishes he'd understand her pain
The pain of not knowing how they ended up this way
Today she wouldn't understand a word he said
He speaks so cryptically it's almost like he's dead
He's tied to the letters from her he's read
It's a wonder why he never leaves his head
He's got one more message he'd like to send
She's the once unlikely recipient with a heart to mend
To which he will no longer be the one to tend
So here's to the swift and forgetful end
