Stain

Just before she left me all alone

I swore I heard the wind all around me talking

It didn't say a name but I heard it calling

I spent July waiting by the phone

It always was her tell when she said it's nothing

But she would never tell me if I'm on to something

Maybe she was never mine

Never mind

She said she got through all the hurting

But some things never change

Tied up her broken bones with shoe strings

And she smiled through the pain but

Guess all that wishful thinking

Still can't mend the break

She said she washed off all the dirt but

You can still see the stain

You can still see the stain

I bite my tongue and keep the curtains closed

Go somewhere I know she could never find me

I know I'm a ghost baby don't remind me

Now it's quiet in the car when we're driving home

And we're both pretty sure it's the other's fault

It's such a lonely kind of limbo

And she's just staring out the window

Thinking we were never fine

She said she got through all the hurting

But some things never change

Tied up her broken bones with shoe strings

And she smiled through the pain but

Guess all that wishful thinking

Still can't mend the break

She said she washed off all the dirt but

You can still see the stain

You can still see the stain

I knew

I knew she was crying

Soon as she went quiet

Couldn't look me in the eyes

Couldn't look me in the

I knew

I knew she was leaving

Before she started speaking

Couldn't look her in the eyes

Couldn't look her in the eyes

She said she got through all the hurting

And I said I got through all the hurting
