Paper trails broken hearts
Scattered around these engine parts
Turn the pages
Chapters end
And I kept it in my pocket
Never to show it
These crumpled remains
Weighted reminders
Turn the key, systems fail
My knuckles pale
Still no spark
Car won't start
Photographs and knick knacks
Wading through memories
And what I've done
Thickens the mud
Places, places all the same
Blurred in this mental game
Of hide and seek
The secrets we keep
Turn the key, systems fail
My knuckles pale
Still no spark
Car won't start
Problems persist
Mechanics can't fix
What's gone wrong
I still hold on
So they crush and throw it away
I find new pieces
Everyday
Losing my reasons
Turn the key, systems fail
My knuckles pale
Still no spark
Car won't start
Holding the keys
To a car that wouldn't start
Now just something
That fell a part
