Read Between the Lines

Read between the lines
Caught in black and white
Fraying at the edges, I'll dare you to say I'm right
Now are you satisfied?
Have you made up your mind?
Pouring salt into the wound
And you won't look me in the eye

Pacing back and forth
I'll walk these empty halls
Broken mirrors distort what I thought that I fought for
All's fair in love and war
Except behind closed doors
I let myself forget each time that you were keeping score

Hands upon my waist
Spinning some tall tale of how the night went wrong
My nose bleeds on the walk home
Now I'm dizzy on the comedown
Silent prayer caught in my throat
You'll tell her we never spoke

Solemn quietness
And salt upon my lips
The end is a beginning but I never wanted this
Broken promises
I threw but never hit
I failed every checkbox on your godforsaken list

Never looking back
Orpheus be proud
My eyes are fixed on what's ahead
Not what I've lost but still I find
Your fingerprints on my
Collarbones and thighs
The bruises linger longer than the obligations
Under which you never found yourself
Your sense of duty never reached in sickness and in health
That was always someone else
