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
