i want to hit you just to see if you cry...

i'm just those tired bones that you
have taken every last thing from.
sucked the sunlight from my eyes
and now i can't see a thing
it's alright; i've grown to be so much more
than we could have ever been
and i don't care, i swear i don't.
so tomorrow starts the day that i'll listen to all
your favorite songs and i won't feel a thing
but not quite.

so i am picking up your words
and piecing them together
the way they should have been
or how i wanted.

i just want to break you, and tear you up
so maybe you'll see that it's never quite over
and you can't forget a god damn thing
no, you don't forget.

well, maybe you're the reason i'm out on my own
and maybe you're not
maybe you tried and maybe you wanted to be
i fell in love with a kid from missouri
and i didn't even get a stupid t-shirt

so i am picking up your words
and piecing them together
the way they would have been
or the way they felt.

i just want to break you, and tear you up
so maybe you'll see that it's never quite over
and you can't forget a god damn thing
no, you don't forget.

well, maybe you're the reason i cant breathe on my own
and maybe you wanted to be.
and maybe tonight the hardest thing to do will be hanging up.
