Pillar of Salt

What is there left to say?

I can feel us both turning grey

And I can’t console you more than this;

My heart is a pale fist

No blood left and lifeless

What is there left to say?

Maybe I should leave before I choose stay

I should never have made a home out of this

Oh, I’m packing my things and lying

Can’t you see how hard I’m trying?

I can hardly say it

I can barely breathe

I know that I’ll be different

Once you really leave

I don’t handle things like this

All that well anymore

Promise not to turn back

While you’re walking out the door

Who am I going to be when you’re gone?

It was always in my nature to hold on

I was so afraid of it ending like this

Please remember who you are

Please don’t lose your heart

I can hardly say it

I can barely breathe

I hate that I’ll be different

Once you really leave

I don’t handle things like this

All that well anymore

Promise not to turn back

While you’re walking out the door

And I couldn’t say goodbye

I couldn't watch you cry

I hate that you’ll be different

Promise me you’ll try?

You never handled things like this

All that well in the first place

I promise not to turn back

I promise to save face
