You've gotten small enough to repeat now.
Small enough that it's just your face in the cracks
Between these words
Smiling and staring staring and smiling
I don't know which way I like it better.
But you fell. You fell and I fell because I saw your weaknesses.
Like beautiful wrinkles, like ugly Botox.
Running, why didn't you tell me you were fast.
If I had known how quickly you were going to leave
What I thought we had
I would have laced up my sneakers too.
I don't think you should leave.
I want you out.
I can't lead you in your struggle I can't lead your path.
I won't do drugs I'm too good at math.
They were all in my class
They were all in my class
And Now I Love Them
Did they turn me you've got to wonder before
The structure for wondering falls down.
If nothing comes from nothing
Then what we had was nothing.
But when we spoke and laughed and slept
How much I wanted to believe it was something else.
Small enough that it's just your face in the cracks
Between these words
Smiling and staring staring and smiling
I don't know which way I like it better.
But you fell. You fell and I fell because I saw your weaknesses.
Like beautiful wrinkles, like ugly Botox.
Running, why didn't you tell me you were fast.
If I had known how quickly you were going to leave
What I thought we had
I would have laced up my sneakers too.
I don't think you should leave.
I want you out.
I can't lead you in your struggle I can't lead your path.
I won't do drugs I'm too good at math.
They were all in my class
They were all in my class
And Now I Love Them
Did they turn me you've got to wonder before
The structure for wondering falls down.
