lyrics

You took your car out
I’d had enough so I called it a bluff and I cussed you out
It was my last shout, the one that I had been holding back since you’d checked out
But I made it about me
I had to flout the
Reasons to doubt your feelings about
The things that you said had sent you away
I think about you everyday
And my anger, it was frightening
Had I known I’d have tightened
My restraints and bound them tight to yours
Sewn myself in places that are torn
You took your car out
You’d had enough so you drove real rough, blew your tires out
It was your last shout, the one that you had been holding back since your world gave out
But had you heard these words I doubt they would have meant anything to anyone other than me
Goddamm the herd-kind-of mentality that makes it OK to just throw it all away
Just cus they murdered expectations that you have doesn’t mean that they owe you anything
And it’s absurd, but when we’re young we think that what we need’s no less than what we all deserve
But you made up your mind
Some things just decay with time
And I mistook the line between “I’m OK, I’m fine”
And “forever you’re mine”
Why’d you go out that night
Had you told me to try, had you told me to try
I would
Carry it all off your back so you can rest your shoulders
Carry it all so we'd all we find out your heart is sick
Carry it all off the backs of all these broken people
Carry it all so we'd all find out that loves exists
(You took your car out
I'd had enough so I called it a bluff and I cussed you out
It was my last shout
The one that I had been holding back since you checked out)
