It's hard enough to pretend 

That this quasi-cosmetic 

Relationship's immune system is automatic 

I've been so tragically fooled 

Into believing that time is healing our wounds 

While the remedy is looking at me looking at you 



Pictures won't get me though this 

Phone calls only make things worse 

Permanent rescue from excuses better left unsaid 

You hide your heart behind the thought of each sentence 

Pictures won't get me through this 

Phone calls only make things worse 

You try to make it easier 

But it won't stop me 



What did you say 

When it was already too late 

What did you say 

It's not what you think 

What did you say when you try to speak 

You suffocate 



This conversation always ends in a hole 

An apology is ended before it's begun 

Your words hung by an umbilical cord 

At any given second this womb could explode 



What did you say 

When it was already too late 

What did you say 

It's not what you think 

What did you say when you try to speak 

You suffocate 



This is the love you say you want 

This is the love you still don't know 

This is the love you say you want 

This is the love that leaves your heart broken
