The web of veins over your eyes
Gave away your time
And then took over mine
Tattoo with a name in the middle
Had it when the times were still civil
Now it's also pride in the postscript
That says look I was not the one that broke it
Funny how things turn out
Only the ink in my arm
Is anything other than faded now
Started the year with nothing between us
Except your ex-boyfriend's left behind t-shirts
And I wore them with an ill-just pride
Same kind of satisfying smile
With which someone new is now wearing mine
And we left the door open
But the point in walking through is long gone
And we swore that we were broken
But we can't even do that anymore
We can't even do that anymore
Watched the slow motion replay in real-time
Your gradual extrication from my life
Found a lack of headlines to point at
No great betrayal, no tragedy, no freak-out
And we left the door open
But the point in walking through is long gone
And we swore that we were broken
But we can't even do that anymore
We can't even do that anymore
Been playing havoc with your hem and your hair now
As we meet at the top of the stairs and
You wear a dress that I'm not sure if I've seen before
It's a statement of intent I guess that says I don't know you anymore
And we left the door open
But the point in walking through is long gone
And we swore that we were broken
But we can't even do that anymore
We can't even do that anymore
The web of veins over your eyes
Gave away your time
And then took over mine
