Stateside

(album: The Weight That You Buried - 2013)

I watched the bonds we made give way
On your front porch that May
You begged me to go, but I think that I should stay
I wanna know how much you hate me
Before I go across the country, before I go across the country

So act like you never cared
About a spark that wasn't there
But don't forget how hard you tried to let me down, but I wouldn't break free
I never wanted to be the weight that you buried

I'm stuck stateside with you in my head
I couldn't even get away to New England
So next time that you're on your kitchen floor
Remember me and what we used to be
And how I couldn't care less anymore

So act like you never cared
About a spark that wasn't there
But don't forget how hard you tried to let me down, but I wouldn't break free
I never wanted to be the weight that you buried

[2x]
I'll hold on to everything you've tried to take, 'cause I'm gone, I'm the smile you couldn't fake

Maybe I'll end up back in your bed, or in a makeshift one in the back of my van
I've learned to not rule out anything when it comes to you and me, except for consistency.
So half of what mattered then won't matter anymore.
And at that time I'll be in another state on another floor.
In another state on another floor.
