Please help me wash this lump down my swollen throat
With all these other things that I find hard to swallow
Tongue in cheek
Foot in mouth
Hung myself with my own shoelaces
Sit back, relax
It won't take long for the life to leave my eyes
On and on
I don't have time to clean up the mess we've made
Keep quiet
I'll sweep this under the sofa and the chair
These arms can't hold the weight of these mistakes
Too weak to change the sheets from when you stayed
I go on and on
We can't say we tried or put ourselves aside
We might have pretended we were satisfied
Walk on now, but my feet hurt, so I can't make that trek this time
I'll see you when I see you, goodbye
And while these memories start to fade and photographs are thrown away,
I'll save a little piece on my side
Breathe out of your insecurities and hang them out with mine
I hope you save a piece on your side
