King Blues Wasted Words
At what point to we declare it an end,
It's been worse before and it will be worse again,
If nothing's happened where is the closure,
Decide for real that this time it's over,
It's true old habits die hard,
We keep building castles out of cards,
Yeah it's easy when love is familiar,
But is that love that I'm giving ya,
Honestly is there peace in your heart,
Or is the effort of making a new start just too hard,
Scared you won't find a new spark,
Scared you won't find a new heart,
Slap on a smile and say it's alright,
Push it back down inside til we fight,
Something in the old routine ain't right,
Staring at the glazed over look in her eyes,
Screaming 'Just listen, why won't you listen',
I shout without hearing her reason,
Effing and blinding reminding her why,
She tried to leave me a thousand times,
But I find her silence is deafening,
This time there's no idle threatening,
There's no scheming, dreaming, no tears streaming,
She just packed my bag and told me 'You're leaving',
Just like this,
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
(Just hear me out yeah)
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
(I swear that this time it's different)
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
Nothing ever changes,
I'm all messed up when it comes to this,
She knows it's only words,
And she don't wanna go and get herself hurt,
No matter what I say,
No matter what I shout,
She says 'Get out, get out, just get out',
I could write a poem that makes atheists pray for this,
But nothing I can say could make her stay for this,
Cos the currency that we spent was time,
Our hopes and our dreams,
Fell down the line,
Like cryptonite, the worst of my fears,
My words falling on deaf ears,
I scream and I shout but the sounds drowned out,
Bang wake up, Flash, I don't wanna be without,
So it goes back and forth in my head,
I can't live without her, then I want her dead,
It don't sound much like love to me,
But it's gotta be better than being lonely,
So now my thumb is searching for my phone,
Texting to say 'I'm sorry' and I miss her so,
I say I'll always be here,
Though I know I won't,
Man I'm just scared of being alone,
So I send it again but I get no reply,
Maybe she really means it this time,
It's harder to swallow no words at all,
I keep trying but she doesn't answer the call,
She just says
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
(I swear just give me one last chance)
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
(I'm gonna change I won't do that shit again)
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
Nothing ever changes,
I'm all messed up when it comes to this
I swear nothing ever changes,
It just always stays the same,
And old habits die hard when it comes to this,
When it comes to this,
So when the words fall short,
Because the actions are loader,
We don't care about us,
When our reactions are prouder,
So hold onto this moment,
Like it were made of glass,
Yes a change is gonna come,
But it'll also pass,
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
(who says it's wasted though)
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
(Just listen to what I've got to say yeah)
I won't waste any words if you're gonna go,
Nothing ever changes,
I'm all messed up when it comes to this
