I'm not knocking your want

to carry that home



took it with you

when you moved and got it broke



found the pieces

we counted them all alone



didn't add up

forgot to carry a zero



I can't be your

apologist very long



I'm surprised that

you'd want to carry that on



count your blemishes

you can't

they're all gone



I can't see your response

putting them back on



like they're waiting for your guard to fall

so they can see it all and you're so

occupied with what other persons are

occupied with

and vice versa



and you've become

what you thought was dumb

a fraction of the sum



yeah, you've become

yeah, you have become



a fraction of the sum

the middle and the front



and now it's coming back

hasn't it come too far?



I was trying to help but I guess

I pushed too hard



now we can't even touch it

afraid it'll fall apart
