One Less

One less "dear" to start off a letter

One less day of black and poison weather

One less pillow piled up on the bed

You're losing your head

So I'm one less, I'm one less

One less anniversary to be planning

One less whispered "darling" companion

One less new transgression to confess

I'm losing my head

So I'm one less, I'm one less

If you were to add up all our problems

You would get one less, guaranteed

All the blows we try so hard to soften

Miss their mark unless it's what you need

One less reason to fake understanding

One less garbage grinder to stick my hand in

One less hunk of pride to ingest

I'll go instead

So I'm one less, I'm one less

If you were to add up all our problems

You would get one less, guaranteed

All the blows we try so hard to soften

Miss their mark unless it's what you need

One less "dear" to start off a letter

One less broken heart to piece together

One less glass projectile at my head

You take the rest

Now I'm one less, I'm one less

It's all for the best

Now I'm one less, I'm one less
