Old Words in New Phrases

We broke a promise to ourselves
Like breaking glass it only helps to know there was a message in that bottle
We throw these questions back and forth
Those same old answers same old words
To think that it could ever work
As if it could

And the stars aligned themselves around your head
As your dreamin of how this is gonna end

Cause you use old words in these new phrases
It's not about what was, but what's always been

Wipe the dust off of these verses
Polish them to shine like yours did
Change the tone in hopes to change their meaning
Rehearsed the melodies like clockwork
Push the issues just to match your picture perfect memory of how its been

And the least i could ask of you was the truth
But that was too much to handle
And replace what you say with poems
And this time you will find
You will never find the words
