Does It Ever Break Your Heart?

You got a table on the patio
Against my better judgement I agreed to go
You ordered wine as if you still know
What I want and need, but it’s still your show

I didn’t want to see you again
Apparently time is only weakening
Resisting my own curiosity
To hear what you feel you need to say to me

You say

Does it ever break your heart to think
How we hurt each other without empathy
I don’t know how this is gonna go
I just know that I don’t want to be alone

I stay silent there across from you
I can tell that you believe your words to be true
You try to hold my gaze like you used to
But I can see you don’t see me you see only you

You try

Does it ever break your heart to think
How we hurt each other without empathy
I don’t know how this is gonna go
I just know that I don’t want to be alone

You never want to be alone

You’re so used to getting what you want
It doesn’t matter what you say now I’ve learned a lot
Like how to listen to your earnest claims
But not believe a single word you ever say

I say

Yes, it always breaks my heart to think
How we hurt each other without empathy
I know how this time it’s gonna go
This time I will leave you alone
