Fracture

You gave me that marker
To write my name across your arm
So I'd always be with you
And never do you any harm
But it seemed to blend in with
A list of unfamiliar names
Who made the same promise
To never cause you any pain

But you're breaking, you're broken
Let's cut that cast open
And check if you've healed any more
You're hurt or you're hurting
I know you've been flirting
With every way you'd go back to the way it was before

They took that picture
And shot at you the beams of light
And as it developed
You knew you'd never be alright
They showed you your problems
As simply as in white and black
And replayed those memories
In every fracture, break, and crack

But you're breaking, you're broken
I know that you're hoping
To see that you've healed so much more
But you're hurt and you're hurting
You've been deserting
Every way you could go back to the way it was before

So, give him that marker
To write his name across your arm
So he'll always be with you
And never do you any harm
And let it blend in with
A list with one familiar name
Who made the same promise
To never cause you any pain
