I tell you I love you through clinched teeth
He stands in the kitchen, our eyes don't meet
Twenty six years seemingly broke in a month
As we crack jokes trying to outrun
The reality we find ourselves in
You drove away and the walls caved in
Who knew love was such a fickle thing?
No one is safe from her cruel embrace
When she lets go, she sings a sick refrain
And bitterness hits like a crashing train
I don't give a damn whose fault it was
I just hope you find the peace you both left behind
There was once a bright light that is now dim
Would you let it shine again?
Our family was verses of a song never meant to be sung
You two were conflicted chords
Who knew love was such a fickle thing?
No one is safe from her cruel embrace
When she lets go, she sings a sick refrain
And bitterness hits like a crashing train
Some days I've feared to love
Some days I just wish to run away
She headed north, soon I'll head east
But you're the one we begged to stay even though you haven't moved an inch
Who knew love was such a fickle thing?
No one is safe from her cruel embrace
When she lets go, she sings a sick refrain
And bitterness hits like a crashing train
She headed up north, soon I'll head out east
I sometimes wonder if your love has truly ceased
