Jawbreaker Shirt Lyrics

Believe me when I said

I wish I chose these words instead

I would rewrite them

But I'm not much of a poet

And all of our friends all gathered there

I wanted to ask but I just stare

I found a strand of your hair

On my Jawbreaker shirt

Everyone believes

In their own bullshit

You have cigarette breathe

And I just can't quit

I'm afraid of the quiet

That comes along with it

So I just swallow the words

And choke on them

And you go walking in your garden

Where everything is dead

"If you loved them

You would water them anyway"

No, no you treat me like a book

So many pages overlooked

I wonder if you'll buy my story

This time

And I guess owe a debt

I should just pay it off instead

I really want things to work out

This time

And it feels like pulling teeth

To see which one of us cares the least

If I didn't why would I even

Try?
