Down the days

She tries holding me back
I stop think fast and react
She sucks me in with her words as I choke and slur
She takes a moment as I begin to tell her
Everything that you've said and written
How I try and I try to forget them
The stories were true all along
And I'll make sure to pass them on

But I'm quickly counting down the days
Glancing at old photographs I try to erase
Now you know that I'm the one who's getting away
You've been knocking on my door with no answer
But when I do here's what I'll say
Every time I sit and wonder
Why oh why should we depend on each other
Is it because there is no one else

Then you said you want to take things slowly
And you start to play those games with me
Its impossible to look at you
It brings back all these thoughts and moments
But I'm quickly counting down the days
Glancing at old photographs I try to erase
Now you know that I'm the one who's getting away

You've been knocking on my door with no answer
But when I do here's what I'll say
Too little too late now
I want to watch you breakdown
You had the chance to be the one I need
And I gave you away

But I'm quickly counting down the days
Now you know that I'm the one who's getting away
You've been knocking on my door with no answer
But when I do here's what I'll say
Too little too late now
I want to watch you breakdown
You had the chance to be the one I need
And I gave you away
