Desert Mile

"I think we had it, it was just too strong I'd find it easier on my own" I can't believe that was something you said I could hear the river tell me "feel, forget" I've had enough of bending over back again I wasn't tough, I never had a heart to break I never thought you'd hit me with a hook to the side No call to heed, no signal here of who to choose I'm incomplete and pulling back and forth with you I disagree, I'm better off being left behind I feel outside of what will shake your bones Too many moments to rehearse my prose You weren't unstable when I kissed your fists (I'm not trying to be understood) I was told "lie and say that grief forgives" I've had enough of bending over back again I wasn't tough, I never had a heart to break I never thought you'd hit me with a hook to the side No call to heed, no signal here of who to choose I'm incomplete and pulling back and forth with you I disagree, I'm better off being left behind I'll leave you to go I tell you on the phone sometimes I know that we weren't meant to be alone A flicker of fire There's nothing I can do but I I won't give up on faults you couldn't find I've had enough of bending over back again I wasn't tough, I never had a heart to break I never thought you'd hit me with a hook to the side No call to heed, no signal here of who to choose I'm incomplete and pulling back and forth with you I disagree, I'm better off being left behind
