Breaking In Reverse

I'm not initiating anything

But I won't stop it if you start

There's a million black dogs in my head

And they're fighting with my heart

You put your hand upon my shoulders

You said you weren't sure if it was the light

But you told me that I am beautiful

And then you told me that it wasn't right

Or maybe I'm too quick at replying

When you tell me what you're doing for tea

And I know exactly what I'm doing

'Cause it's exactly what you're doing to me

And I told you I'm writing again

And you know exactly what it's about

Two hearts breaking in reverse

Don't ask me why I'm smiling

'Cause there's just so much I could say to you

Like there's a life of wet walking boots ahead

If we could just see this bit through

So if I seem a little colder

It's 'cause I'm terrified of melting away

Before I can serve myself on a platter

And all that matters is that judgement day

And it's too painful going backwards

So I'll invite myself over yours for tea

And I know exactly what I'm doing

'Cause it's exactly what you're doing to me

And I told you I'm writing again

And you know exactly what it's about

Two souls aching

Two lips shaking, two eyes waking

The time it's taking, it's painstaking

Two hearts breaking in reverse
