Save Your Breath

I ran into you at a mutual friend's
And out of habit, I reached out to touch your hand
But when I got close, I realized the bracelet wasn't mine
And neither were you, but there was a time

I won't get too close
Forgot I was an outsider
I just got caught up
In the shock of that privilege revoked

I know you will think I'm trying to get you back
But I'm doing just fine without all of that
You were the flame to my match
But you burned past all the good ash
I'm starting anew
You can save your breath

Ask how you're doing
Sitting miles away it seems
And I know how close your body's been to mine
But it's so much more jarring the way your eyes lock in with mine
Felt like it'd take an earthquake to cut the cord

I don't ask you to stay
That feeling seems a little bit late
I just sit and wait
For the tsunami of emotions to fade

I know you will think I'm trying to get you back
But I'm doing just fine without all of that
You were the flame to my match
But you burned past all the good ash
I'm starting anew
You can save your breath

And if there's something I wanna know
I'll let it trickle down, like the first snow
I'm not gonna search out an avalanche to pack me in
I'm much too sentimental for that kind of thing

I know you will think I'm trying to get you back
But I'm doing just fine without all of that
You were the flame to my match
But you burned past all the good ash
I'm starting anew
You can save your breath
