no more romantic plan
|
i've put up and done my best
|
don't want to lead the blind to scenic landscapes on my chest
|
i'm leaving you here to rest
|
no i don't want to pull your weight forever
|
no more pretending that we'll be together
|
i'm empty handed when i carried you so long
|
don't get in
|
i'm saying i told you so
|
i'm saying i should have known
|
i've got enough weight to pull without your fingers on my plate
|
i'm so glad i let you go
|
no i don't want to pull your weight forever
|
no more pretending that we'll be together
|
i'm empty handed when i carried you so long
|
don't get in
|
hating and waiting, frustrating, debating
|
and feeding and taking and building and breaking
|
needing and needing till life was receding
|
and sinking in puddles of tears from you
|
hating and waiting, debating
|
and feeding and taking
|
and building and breaking
|
completing
|
and needing and needing
|
and needing and needing
|
i'm leaving
|
there's nothing that you can do.
|
(you won't have time to pretend that it never was)
|
no i don't want to pull your weight
|
no more pretending that we'll be together
|
i carried you
|
