about

a rewrite of a different song

lyrics

It was totally one sided,
a tug of war that just gets harder after one side quits.
She was reborn as fire,
which only hardened him to stone
and even though she only spoke the truth, it was no use to him, because he already believed in lies.

And when she said that she loved him, what she meant was that she loved him. She really did.
But what he heard in those i'love-yous was an echo in the empty part of his heart which sounded in his mind's ear like go away.

He was totally misguided,
determined to wear that shoe, even if it didn't fit.
He was severing the wire
so that though they were together she was already alone.
And even though he said nothing she knew what he did think; she could see bad stories pouring from his eyes.

And when she said that she loved him, what she meant was that she really did care that he was there, which he twisted in abstraction like she was just being nice.
And when she said you can do better, what she meant was that it's too hard to watch someone you love destroy themselves completely. Don't go away without saying anything.

He was totally divided,
but finally he said okay.
