Intertwine - Heartbreak

Time to pretend I don't want this
Time to pretend like I'm better than before
Time to find a way to look away and move on

I won't waste my time
I won't hold my breath
Looking for smoke I can catch with my bare hands
Or maybe I'm the smoke that looks for home within your grasp?

Why don't you look in my eyes now?
Tell me where you'll be when we've both calmed down?
Because if it's just a game
Then I'll play along
Even if it hurts
Even if we're wrong

I'll stop the river running from my eyes
Don't worry, there will be another guy
And then I'll find a way to fuck it up like I do every time

When nothing goes right, it's only natural to think there's something wrong
When the pattern threaded through my head has grown so long

I want to look in your eyes now
Tell you that I'll love you when I learn how
But now it's just a game
So I'll play along
And I'll lose again if I can't move on

I watch my body drift apart in another pair of arms
And soon I lose track of which heartbreak I was thinking of

My fragile fingers fell apart against your flesh
I knew they would collapse with your caress
And now I feel like I've run out of opportunities to miss

I won't waste my time
I won't hold my breath
Making a cage with my fingers to contain what can't be kept
Or maybe I'm the smoke, a shapeless ghost, that slips right past?

I try to take your shape, but it never lasts

We never get taught to talk to each other like this
This is not the love they said we'd find
This is the love they say isn't right
This is the love we that fought with our lives to define
That I'm now failing to recognize
So easy to begin, so hard to keep
I always think you're the one
But you never make up for all my missing sleep

I watch my body drift apart in another pair of arms
And soon I lose track of which heartbreak I was thinking of

My fragile fingers fell apart against your flesh
I knew they would collapse with your caress
And now I feel like I've run out of opportunities to miss

Because I wasted time
Because I held my breath

I won't let my failures hold me back
I'll go out and fail again and again
And again
