one in three you're here

to tell me we can't do this anymore

(one in three, you're here to tell me we can't do this

three for three, I will disagree)



your hair and face against the mirror

as i take the steps to save what's left of me

someone's out when it's over



people steal from you

they take anything they choose



it's good to see you

(I missed you last night)

that's such a lovely color

(it goes with your eyes)

before we fall asleep

(I just wanted to say)

this all seems so easy but there are choices to make



can't decide, then look at the faces

(candlelight)

we're burning the pages

and hurting ourselves with this false start

resign yourself to always be (and we pretend as if it gets easier)

without the one thing you need (but does it get easier)

debating words with no reply

when we have these mornings where we can say goodbye



I wanted to mean everything to you

but this isn't right

you keep coming back disassembled

and I keep losing this fight



I won't answer



dancing under starlight glow

no one in the city knows

confidence can take you

when nerves try to shake you

from going all the way

it's not that far



we watch the tide roll in

(with cold air and coffee cakes)

holding our words at lips

(stopping the sounds they make)

we know the way to go

(we know what steps to take)

to be here



these words with no reply

stopping we's and starting i's

this need is killing me

and taking me over



i wanted to mean everything to you

but this isn't right

you keep coming back disassembled

and i keep losing this fight
