Elyse Shackleton - Tension

You carry a tension in your bones
Why don't you want me anymore
You used to smile at me
Now you walk by silently
There's tension in our space
You can barely spit out my name
It's not fair, but just the same
You make me wish things never changed

Tension, tension
From things we never mention
Things we lost that were meant to last
Days and nights that went too fast
Tension, tension
You know I still have questions
The memories haunt us to this day
The tension pulls us separate ways

There's tension in your eyes
And tension in our car rides
Things are fading distantly
Losing sight of what we believed
We walked and ran and moved too fast
When you looked down, you were holding my hand
Panic sets into your headspace
Our laughter made you anxious

Tension, tension
From things we never mention
Things we lost that were meant to last
Days and nights that went too fast
Tension, tension
You know I still have questions
The memories haunt us to this day
The tension pulls us separate ways

You swore we wouldn't hurt
That's what friends were for
Your hands pulled at my shirt
Friends have broken my heart before
You swore we wouldn't hurt
That's what friends were for
Your hands pulled at my shirt
Friends have broken my heart before
You swore we wouldn't hurt
That's what friends were for
Your hands pulled at my shirt
Friends have broken my heart before
You swore we wouldn't hurt
That's what friends were for
Your hands pulled at my shirt
Friends have broken my heart before

Tension, tension
Because of you, I've learned my lesson
Words can only go so far
When you pull away your heart
Tension, tension
We forced away attention
I lost sight when you left that day
Tension pulled us separate ways

Tension, tension
From things we never mention
Things we lost that were meant to last
Days and nights that went so fast
Tension, tension
Well, you know I still have questions
