I'm sorry I always forget to answer my phone
I'm sorry I left you alone
I thought we had grown
But when I see your name I just groan
It's beyond repair
It's beyond what's fair
It's beyond what you gave me, 'cause it's not all there
Must've dropped it somewhere
Must've lost it along the line
We've been buried in the dirt
Let's plant some flowers, make it work
But they always drown again
I should've known
We've been severed, split and cut
Grab a bandage, patch it up
Good as new, until we're ripped and left alone
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to break the bliss
You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
All the glittering generalities
Throw away my morality
If I just pretend
If I just convince myself
Seeing you has become a chore
Please don't blame me if I want more
I would stay if I could love you well
We've been buried in the dirt
Let's plant some flowers, make it work
But they always drown again
I should've known
We've been severed, split and cut
Grab a bandage, patch it up
Good as new, until we're ripped and left alone
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to break the bliss
You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to do you wrong
If I'm honest, we don't fit like I need
We've been buried all along
Buried all along
We've been buried all along
Buried all along
Buried all along
We've been buried all along
Buried all along
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to break the bliss
You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to do you wrong
If I'm honest, we don't fit like I need
We've been buried all along
