Hesitation Marks Lyrics

She caught me trying to fill the empty bed

With empty people that I never kept

The compromise that was left unsaid

The quiet that struck when they left

She said the hate was in my head

I put the knife back into the wound from before;

She couldn't touch me there anymore

I watched her collect her things

Waver at the door;

I didn't have to ask what for

I told her she could leave her keys

In the door when she left

I told her promises were never meant to be kept

That we were makeshift together at best

I told her she could wring out all of the nights when she slept

In my arms as I wept

I drove into my skin until everything bled

I haven't amounted to anything yet

I am damaged beyond what anyone can see;

She said that she can only blame me
