About the song
Yet another in a long list of songs i wrote about a woman I haven't spoken to in years. Sure, I could just get over it, but it's much MUCH more fun this way :)
Lyrics
On the floor
In the bedroom
Lies a photograph
A capture of time and space
An image of wasted days
I can’t bring myself to understand
I can’t bring myself to see things your way
In the closet
Where your dresses hung
Like reminders of when we were young.
And bold enough and blind enough
Too blind to see where the bleeding never stops
I can’t bring myself to understand
I can’t bring myself to see things your way
She dances to me
She dances away
She dance to my arms
She dances on my grave
This is the breaking
The coming apart
This is the process
Of tearing in two
Not to put too fine a point upon it
There’s not much reason to pretend
There’s not much left to build upon
There’s not much here at all
You can dance to this
And cut yourself in two
You can rise above
And fail in invisible ways
But in the bedroom on the nightstand
Lies a book of faces
Choose the one that fits you
Choose the one that makes you whole
But if you wear the face long enough
To see what I see
You will find the difference
The space between you and me
The space between you and me
The space between you and me
The Breaking
The Breaking
In the bedroom
Lies a photograph
A capture of time and space
An image of wasted days
I can’t bring myself to understand
I can’t bring myself to see things your way
In the closet
Where your dresses hung
Like reminders of when we were young.
And bold enough and blind enough
Too blind to see where the bleeding never stops
I can’t bring myself to understand
I can’t bring myself to see things your way
She dances to me
She dances away
She dance to my arms
She dances on my grave
This is the breaking
The coming apart
This is the process
Of tearing in two
Not to put too fine a point upon it
There’s not much reason to pretend
There’s not much left to build upon
There’s not much here at all
You can dance to this
And cut yourself in two
You can rise above
And fail in invisible ways
But in the bedroom on the nightstand
Lies a book of faces
Choose the one that fits you
Choose the one that makes you whole
But if you wear the face long enough
To see what I see
You will find the difference
The space between you and me
The space between you and me
The space between you and me
The Breaking
