Making that mistake was a serious task
How can I hear your voice again
My only concern wasn't making it last
Somehow I cut it off short

She was holding back, never wanting change
She never thought she could
Then she realized when he finally left
Maybe he was gone for good
Gone for good

Everything I wanted ended up in the fire
How am I in the same place
Playing the piano at 2:30 AM
Wishing that I could sleep in

She was terrified, never wanting to grow
Maybe if she understood
There was nothing left they could argue about
Maybe he was gone for good

We pretended everything is made and spent
We pretend we can
We surrender, everything was changing when
We pretend we can

Do we need a little sacrificial lamb
Don't let it get too attached
Playing the piano at 6:30 AM
Not knowing where to begin

She was never sure how to say what she felt
She never thought she should
There was nothing left they could agree about
Maybe it was gone for good

We suspected everything was at our end
We can end it then
We surrender
Everything was made and spent
We pretend we can
