about

C, walk to Am, walk to F, G

lyrics

Some people say they build up walls to see who cares to tear them down
I can’t relate I‘m more the type to throw the bricks at you, then ask for them back so I can build it again

I’ve always gone through life just hoping that you felt the same way
And gave wide berth not out of courtesy but just to avoid the side effects of a brick to the face

Know I was listening when you cried on my shoulder
I know you wanted me to tell you that things would get better
But how could I know that? Sometimes they get worse

I stared at the clock it kept ticking on past
The little moment where I hadn't fucked things up yet
I tried my best to hold it in place

Because I
Would walk 1000 miles
To avoid awkward eye contact
Or feeling kind of stupid
Even just for one second

And I
Would shrug 1000 times
But not one more or less
Because numbers aren’t poetic
Unless they’re big and round

And so you'd say say the ones you love were always bound to let you down
I looked away and wished that I could promise I wouldn't, and yet in that moment I already had
I just got all caught up in searching for the right words to say
And by the time I had prepared a statement that you wouldn't take the wrong way
You were gone, and wouldn't take my calls

I give cold shoulders to keep the room from melting
And when that fails I hold my breath to keep myself from drowning
Don't tie yourself to me, I never learned how to swim

There's a fine line between supportive and invasive
And I'm so terrified to come within a mile of it
I'd rather say nothing, I'd rather be nothing

Because I
Would walk 1000 miles
To avoid awkward eye contact
Or feeling kind of stupid
Even just for one second

And I
Would shrug 1000 times
But not one more or less
Because numbers aren’t poetic
Unless they’re big and round

and i
would write 1000 lines
of uninspired poetry
over a cliche melody
its better than sincerity
