The Mechanic

My promise, I promise I'll fix what you need

Just give me some time and you'll see

I know it's been years since the first time you heard this

This time I promise it's real

Like a dog that keeps whining

But you love how it sounds

So you let it go hungry to hear it

Your shirts are all stained with the blood dripping out

And the problem gets harder to hide

Did we only let go to know we'd have something to find?

Darling, darling, we've always been much more than this

I know you weren't broken

I just needed something to fix

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I know what I said

Now I have to live with it too

But I had no idea what the words really meant

Till the day that I said them to you

And hard times were never bad times

I know we're trying to find that again

But maybe where we're headed just doesn't include where we've been

Like a house that's on fire

But you love how it feels

So you throw in the memories to feed it

The more you let go, the harder it is to leave

Darling, are we saying this is finally done?

I used to be happy, now used to be is all I've become

We used to be happy, now used to be is all we've become
