Desert Mile

I think we had it, it was just too strong
I'd find it easier on my own
I can't believe that was something you said
I could hear the river tell me: Feel, forget

I've had enough of bending over back again
I wasn't tough, I never had a heart to break
I never thought you'd hit me with a hook to the side
No call to heed, no signal here of who to choose
I'm incomplete and pulling back and forth with you
I disagree, I'm better off being left behind

I feel outside of what will shake your bones
Too many moments to rehearse my prose
You weren't unstable when I kissed your fists
I was told lie and say that grief forgives

I've had enough of bending over back again
I wasn't tough, I never had a heart to break
I never thought you'd hit me with a hook to the side
No call to heed, no signal here of who to choose
I'm incomplete and pulling back and forth with you
I disagree, I'm better off being left behind

I'll leave you to go
I tell you on the phone sometimes
I know that we weren't meant to be alone
A flicker of fire
There's nothing I can do but I
I won't give up on faults you couldn't find

I've had enough of bending over back again
I wasn't tough, I never had a heart to break
I never thought you'd hit me with a hook to the side
No call to heed, no signal here of who to choose
I'm incomplete and pulling back and forth with you
I disagree, I'm better off being left behind
