the saddest words
looking into eyes that are so far away
just a few more words to make this the worst day
and the saddest words you said to me were:
everything is just a phone call away from ending
six more words to make my point hit home:
i’m sorry. i’m so fucking sorry.
every excuse in the book
won’t pull my foot out of my mouth on this one
choking on toes and my own saliva
i’m looking for words to make it okay again
spending all of these long cold nights
holding on to my dignity
and i just need, someone, to hold on to me
it’s just not working out
i’m sorry i’m letting go.
it has to end sometime but why
why must it end like this?
and you asked the questions
and i made up answers
i got off the phone and cried into my pillow
make these sad thoughts and lonely nights go away
you said i’m fragile
and i shined up my hammer
