Don't Move On

They say that once you know of loss
The weight of feathers could drag you deep
The words we spoke, a fatal dose
Of repressed fears and my fury

I packed my things like it was nothing new
You begged surrender in silent truce
I'll linger on in hopes that this was just a cursed dream

Don't move on so quickly
Don't move on, you're fading
Cause I can't be the only one who won't

My therapist sighs, she watches my eyes
I say my story for the seventh time
I had to undo the best of habits
Unloving you was the hardest practice
And you wrote down checks I couldn't cash
I raised my hell on your white flag

Now the clubs don't cut it like they used to
And the heartbreak hurts like it was the first
To know of bloodied fists from holding onto nothing

Don't move on so quickly
Don't move on, you're fading
Cause I can't be the only one who won't
Don't move on so quickly
Don't move on, you're fading
Cause I can't be the only one alone again

Again, and again, and again
I swore again, and again, and again
It's dark, again, and again, and again
Oh, oh, oh

Is this the wake of burning desire?
I put out the flames just to start another fire
I've killed you more times than this killed me
I won't forget the look that you gave me when
I said "Let's talk, I've been thinking this should end"
My sentimental sins still haunt me in frozen dreams of you

They say that once you know of loss
You'll never want to lose again, again
Again, and again, and again
I swore again, and again, and again
It's dark, again, and again, and again
Oh, oh, oh
