Crutches

I was fighting tears on the subway
While you were fighting fears on my driveway
I can't believe you came all that way to say
That you're sorry
I think we've done this one before
I'll end up washed up at your door
Can't take your green eyes anymore
Yeah, I'm sorry
Well, we were balanced on the edge
And you gave me your plastic pledge
Now we're shattered on the floor
Yeah, I'm sorry
'Cuz I think it hurts a little bit too much
Subliminally, we're falling out of touch
And all these years you've been my crutch
Somehow
I was giving up on the long ride
While you were giving letters to the shredders, I
Pretended not to see all the glowing signs
Are you sorry?
Rumors quickly circulate
You quoted stars and called it fate
Then we slipped between the lines
Yeah, I'm sorry
These crutches hurt my skin
Maybe I've outgrown him
These crutches tear my skin
What if I've outgrown him?
Outgrown him?
'Cuz I think it hurts a little bit too much
Subliminally, we're falling out of touch
And all these years you've been my crutch
But now–
One by one and two by two, I
Take the memories I have of you, I
Let 'em rest in a dark blue casket
Plenty deep so the fear won't transmit
One by one and two by two, I
Take the memories I have of you, I
Let 'em rest in a dark blue casket
Right next to the crutches they'll sit
I was filling time on the airplane
While you were filling holes with a cup o' shame
I'll grab myself a glass, we can share the blame
Yeah, I'm sorry
I've found a little peace of mind
Among the pieces left behind
I'll share, but you can keep your name
Yeah, I'm sorry
These crutches hurt my skin
I think I've outgrown him
These crutches tear my skin
I guess I've outgrown him
Outgrown him
I'm sorry
