"The Ponytail Parades" Lyrics

Three sleepless nights
This isn't how it's supposed to be
But you're so good at taking your time
To get back to me

I will wait for you forever
If you would just ask me
I thought that I could change you
But you changed me

It doesn't feel right
Holding someone else's hand
Together on phone lines
And living at two opposite ends

It scares me to think that you could find takers
Other than me and better than me
But your head is elsewhere
And I'm talking enough for both of us
When will you see it's not so easy for me

You're careless and whispered
Insulting and bruising
And I thought that you said
Things were improving

These laces are untied
But my feet are still walking away
Walking away

I never thought that you could say these words
Is this really happening? (5x)
[Don't say that we can still be friends]

erase my name from this page
How can you take all these days
[What is inside me? What have I done?]
And throw them away
[Is this the only way that you'll notice me?]
And as I sit here waiting
[Dead words for closed ears all this is sung for you]
I stay up nights
[If you're still pretending this is what's right]
Until stars leave the sky
[Why can't you look at me? can you only see]
Knowing what my dreams can take away
[one side, your side, can take away]

Walk away from me
This night is done
