stalemate

Why don’t you wanna be around me when you’re sad, baby? I wanna ask you, but I know you’ll just fall back So I make stories up, and, in my head, you tell me they’re the truth So used to all the eggshells on the floor, me and you Oh, the more I pour, the emptier your cup Baby, you’re still halfway out the door with every drop And I don’t have very much of myself left, but could you wait up? ‘Cause I’d still give you all of the rest of me, and then some Ended up in stalemate, somehow Gave you all my pieces, and the benefit of the doubt Wasted so much time, wearing myself down Now here we are in stalemate, somehow, somehow, somehow Oh, I’ve started to believe the words you weaved and made me wear But I think they’re better suited for you, if we’re being fair My reflection isn’t mine at all, it’s something you projected Just too fed up with yourself to accept it Ended up in stalemate, somehow Gave you all my pieces, and the benefit of the doubt Wasted so much time, wearing myself down Now here we are in stalemate, somehow, somehow, somehow Babe, I’m sick of getting hurt Sick of living in this world Where you’re my end all be all and my final word I was scared that I might lose But I’ve done all I can do, baby Looks like it’s your turn to make a move
