We're Walking Paroles

It's really, really bad the way we fell apart
And it's kinda, sorta sad and yeah it breaks my heart
And if there is a chance I'd really like to start over
But I think you wanna part.

The leaves crunch beneath our feet
And we don't touch, don't believe
That it's ending, how come it's ending?
Your head's down to the concrete
Your eyes fix to your feet
And mine are scanning down the street

I'd like to tell you that I am the foolish one
But I've done this all before and, yeah, it's never fun
To live and breathe another, but only till the sun is setting
And then the sun is gone.

Your hand is not in mine
And the clock's stopped counting time
(And since there's no communication)
Every single glance becomes a sullen stare
Which bounces off our faces to the winter air
And as much as it is killing me
I try hard not to show you that I care.
(Cause you know I care.)

You're standing in the doorway.
I tell you that I'll be ok.
You promise, “It's the only way.”
I'm losing interest you say,
My mind has somehow gotten away,
And you've no need to stay.

It hurts so, it always happens
To try hard and be flattened
By feelings of my disenchantment

From now on I will keep myself to songs and books
Occasional hellos and byes and lustful looks
Learning, touching, teasing, flirting, but never anything worth feelings
Because it never works, and you know it never works.
