lyrics

Shoulda seen it coming succumbing to the old go-to
Tactless displays of feigned indifference
They're sure to misfire but at least the lesson won't be learned again
I suppose we always knew it was doomed by its start
The butcher of certainty's blade hasn't and never will miss its mark
No one wants best when the underlying "I've moved on" we leave unsaid
But it's time to take while the taking 's there
Shamelessly

Two drinks too deep and I struggle to not hit send
It looks like sabotage, I assure you that it's just my best
Each half-hearted attempt onward ends a bit more reluctant instead
Nevermind, take care
The weak must fend for itself
While still inclined, there's a need to accept that what can't be, won't be
So farewell

Seem to recall, I recall a nervous excitement for
The fog to descend and swallow us whole
Now in the midst of the seemingly thickest mist
I wonder, "Why wonder?"
No one wants love put through the mill
Where we blame the blameless for the distance that we feel
So take your time, I'm not going anywhere
Shamefully

Two drinks too deep and I struggle to not hit send
It looks like sabotage, I assure you that it's just my best
Each half-hearted attempt onward ends a bit more reluctant instead
Nevermind, take care
The weak must fend for itself
While still inclined, there's a need to accept that what can't be, won't be
So farewell
