I Fall Apart

Without you I no longer swim upstream

Where are you when I try to fill the spaces in between

The red letter days and all the pain

And while I remain shipwrecked everything has changed

And I fall apart

With this threat of indecision

Hanging in my heart

This house can get so lonely

When the day grows dark

And it seems to be the night time

When I fall apart

Can't you tell the shadows no longer comfort me

I don't feel the need to cling to anyone I see

This fool's suffered gladly each and every day

I don't wish to reconsider, I wish they'd stay away

I've no care to count the stares that pity me

I'll wash your hurt away just you wait and see

For every rose you give her I'll give her three

But in the meantime I'll just wish that she was me
