The Last Will Lyrics

I don't want to grab my phone and ask to talk tomorrow,

I've discovered a new breed of shame in which to wallow

I drew a line which I then crossed.

I had an eight year stretch of time which I was growing daily

Since I've ever given anyone the means to hate me

And I think that streak is lost.*

The more we say, the more we seem to fight

The more I wait, the less I sleep at night

I'm more ashamed the more I think on what I said to you.

I gave my kindness up so you would change

I left my greatest asset to your name

But the last will only kicks in once I'm dead to you.

I tried to hurt you with the truth under the impression

That maybe I'd brute-force you into self-reflection

Of which I thought you incapable.

But if you think I'll look you in the eyes after I text you

That I'll let you buy me booze, but I don't respect you

You really don't know me at all.

The more our morals clash, they're overrun

The more it ends in pandemonium

The longer your list grows of those no longer friends to you.

I gave my honor up so you would change

I left my greatest asset to your name

But the last will only kicks in once I'm dead to you.

Every action has its consequences

That's what I should have thought before I tried to teach you lessons

A notion arrogant initially.

You do have problems that I'm quite removed from.

I don't understand your disrespect or your exclusion

But that's not true of your dishonesty.

You lie when truth is painful

I only know because you have that in common with me.
