Divorce Lyrics

She's breaking up, she's falling down

She's holding her fists up now

Her eyes meet my face but we don't look the Same

She walks away, on bloody knees

Her swollen face hides her tears

My mind strains for words but my tongue won't obey

You're just a shadow now of the girl I used to know

Your broken song is maimed and slow

You strain your face to bear that smile

Your teeth clenched tightly all the while

and though you search so thoroughly

for some place to put the blame

It only rests on angry shoulders

and you don't look the same

Your pretty face now contorted

haggard with shame

you don't look the same

you don't look the...

I try to recognize your anger

I try to recognize your hatred

I try to find some purpose for your pride

So cease your screaming now because your

voice is worn and hoarse

your song insinuates divorce

your poison love I won't pursue

your not the lover I once knew

and though you speak so firmly of maxims so bold

your lips mouth words of love

but still your voice is callused and cold

I try to understand what made this mess unfold

I'm sure you couldn't be blamed

your features haven't changed

and yet I can't Imagine why you don't look the same

Your pretty face now contorted

haggard with shame

you don't look the same

you don't look the...

and your song of broken trust is grating on my ears

I'm tired of standing passive while you're preying on my fears

I'm tired of trying to fight, I'm tired of taking sides

you say that you're not angry but I see it in your eyes

I'm tired of hearing rumors, I'm tired of hiding shame

I'm tired of pointing fingers and never taking blame

I'm tired of trying to talk I've nothing left to say

I'm tired of going on so I'm going away
