Tough Love

What if this all pans out like you said

And I outlive all my family and friends?

What's up?

Well, nothing much

I've been losing touch the past few months

It's all at once

Or only for a moment

You loved the smell of the smoke until it got in your clothes

I've got some skin that I won't ever show

What if this all pans out like you said

And I outlive all my family and friends?

And if they don't reach out, we'll never speak again

Well, don't let it get to your head

But where else would it get?

Take a picture

'Cause it lasts longer than your brain

I've got a photographic memory

But each picture is of your face

You stopped believing in ghosts

Now you just haunt broken homes

I've got some skin that I won't ever show

The short end of every wishbone

What if this all pans out like you said

And I outlive all my family and friends

If they don't reach out we'll never speak again

Well, don't let it get to your head

But where else would it get?

What's up?

Well, nothing much

I've been losing touch

The past few months

It's all at once

Or only for a moment

A moment

And how the fuck

Do you show tough love?

I'm not that tough

I can't take much

Is it just my luck?

What if this all pans out like you said

And I outlive all my family and friends

And I can't believe I'm doing this again

When everyday is a new means to an end

I never got used to it
