There we broke down Outside an old town No escaping the shade as the light drowns beneath the promise Of fading sun, and now your cross your fingers behind every one. Here we are singing the same tunes, The same bars, biting the bottle in back booths I couldn't make sense of the changes How I felt or were I could place it You're not complacent with anyone, You're just searching for a reason to turn and run Go and read the stars and signs now, so you can find your easy way out I never wanted this, I never needed any of it I watched you wain, and sway Like the willow by my window pain On bending branch the raven sings Cut it all down and count the rings Does it even make a sound When it falls down and your not around Your ears won't catch echoes of ache So watch me bend until I break I know that I do this to myself, But I won't just break for someone else
