lyrics

I'm not asking you to hear me out
But hear me out one more time
The things you fear in me are not insurmountable
And somehow over them I'll climb

But in the meantime, you find yourself unable
To deal with the pressures of yourself
And in order to keep your mind preoccupied
You pick another man up off the shelf

I'm not saying that you don't really love him
But I don't think it's love he can receive
And in the end, you'll be a little sadder when
Your newest toy decides to finally leave

I can say now, I know why it happened
Stagnant water's hard to sail across
But if we had only waited for this pond to be a river
We could have avoided all this loss
And if you had only stated why you thought our love might wither
Maybe I could have fronted the cost

So my fingers dance upon the strings I played for our affair
With calluses that mar sensitivity of fingers once fair
No, I don't know if your heart is something I'll repair

So my fingers dance upon the strings I played for you there
With calluses that mar sensitivity of fingers once fair

And just maybe when you're done getting hurt
By people who will not love you back
You'll take a moment to recall the one who cared for you

Your one and only honest lover,
-Dax
