Lubbock

You know better than I do that I couldn't fix you I swore in the moment you gave me a preview Of what it would be like if I signed off my whole life To doing your dishes and choosing my fights I've always been one to like strategy But you still can't play fair when everyone's on your team I'm filling positions that never existed A silent protector who waited and listened A mother, a wife, going broke for the distance How could you do this to me? You knew and you let me believe That you would be kinder to me than you were Beat me to all of the punches, you told me you loved me I cried on the highway, didn't that count for something? Waste away in an airport just to clean your apartment It's only seamless to love you when you're looking away I'll take the bruises that lie under my skin You'll only leave marks when you know you can win I'm filling positions that never existed A silent protector who waited and listened A mother, a wife, going broke for the distance How could you do this to me? You knew and you let me believe That you would be kinder to me than you were And I'm hurting, 'cause I heard we're both in Lubbock In our own ways, bet you love it So you'll go for someone worth fucking What a shame, 'cause I know you'll leave him And you'll smile like when you hung up that evening It was us, until it wasn't Now I live in someone else's apartment And I love it And I love it (and I love -)
