Lyrics

You stopped inviting me when I stopped lying
When I said the thing the room was holding back
They wanted candlelight, not flood illumination
They wanted company, not someone keeping track
I've been called clinical, called hard to reach
Called certain in a way that makes you strange
The irony of seeing everything so clearly
Is watching people walk away unchanged
I don't enjoy it, that's the part you're missing
There's no satisfaction in the wreckage being right
I held the warning like a stone inside my pocket
Stayed quiet at the table, slept alright
Except I didn't, that's the part I carry
The ones I couldn't reach in time to save
I knew the door was closing, knew the weather
And learned to call it nothing, look away
They said you seem so distant
They said you never let it show
What looks like cold from where you're standing
Is the weight of what I know
I am not unfeeling, I'm just early
I grieved this before you knew it hurt
By the time you're standing in the ruin
I've already moved through all the dirt
You read me wrong and I let you
Easier than trying to explain
What it costs to live three steps ahead of everything
And still come back and do it all again
I knew myself before I had the grammar
Felt the outline long before the word
Lived inside a shape that had no language
Translated into versions no one heard
The distance people see in me is an absence
It's the gap between the knowing and the said
There's an entire conversation I'm not having
Because I've already run it in my head
I don't want to be the cautionary
I don't want the credit or the "told you so"
I just want to sit inside a moment
Without already knowing how it goes
Just once, not to see the architecture
Just once, not to feel the fault line under the floor
Just once to be surprised by something ending
Instead of standing at the door
I am not unfeeling, I'm just early
I grieved this before you knew it hurt
By the time you're standing in the ruin
I've already moved through all the dirt
And maybe that reads as cold
Maybe that reads as gone
But I have never once stopped caring
I just learned to care alone
Too early for the ending
Too early for the fall
Too early for the part
Where you finally make the call
