the promises you'd make and break
do you remember them?
if not you can take your time
i'm trying hard to get to a place when i think of pain you don't come to mind
i'm trying hard to be a better man and leave that angry boy behind
like a ghost you haunt my house
i can see the wine glass thrown with your mind
ghosts have chains and they use them well
to lock the doors and keep me inside, keep me in line
i still hear your love songs from a joyless voice
that shake the wall and stain the floor
it's a phantom pain from the limbs that break
when the divide between selves starts to blur, what's mine is now yours
i'm trying hard to get to a place when i think of pain you don't come to mind
i'm trying hard to be a better man and leave that scared boy behind
i know now what i didn't know then
that more than once is enough to leave
i know now, oh i know that
once is more than enough to leave
bones unbreak and bruises fade
i'll come up with another lie to fake the peace
what does it say though your hands hurt
i still crawl into bed and fall asleep with you holding me
my loved ones ask if i'm alright
i say i'm fine but let me stay the night
the promises and bones you break
do you remember them?
if not well that's a lie
i'm trying hard to get to a place when i can feel pain and you're not on my mind
i'm trying hard to be a better man and leave that angry boy behind
i know now what i didn't know then
that more than once is enough to leave
i know now, oh i know that
once is more than enough to leave
