We counted
The candles lit
The waiting room
The slow drip
Your swollen lips
The smoke in the kitchen
The ringing tourniquet
Do you talk when you want to
Or hold it in
I'm holding on
To all the hardest parts
The flicker in the bitter dark
Do you talk when you want to
When you want to
When you want to
When you want to
I took the day off
And spent it on
The way I feel
It's nothing
Then everything
Tomorrow when nobody's asking
Do you talk when you want to
Or hold it in
I'm holding on
To all the hardest parts
The flicker in the bitter dark
Do you talk when you want to
Or hold it in
I'm holding on
To all the hardest parts
The flicker in the bitter dark
Do you talk when you want to
Or pick your spots
What are you waiting on
I've got the hardest parts
The flicker in the bitter dark
Are we counting how long it's been
Or how long we had with him
