always knew Lyrics

I dissolve into linoleum floors

I don't think I can make it to the door

But you watch me leave

You've done it before

Something like a promise I couldn't keep

Leaves you wonderin' where we would've been this week

If I had

Would it still get this bad

Standing on the edge of an empire state of mind

(I step over the line)

Your pen, your terms, your promise, your word

And she will love you across fault lines

Split her open before you do

They tell her what they need to and I

Go on caving into you

(Like I tend to do, but I think you always knew)

Didn't think it was bigger than the two of us

'Till the lights turned on, I couldn't make out your face

Started something just to start again

An outline of us I trace

Sift through the remains of seventeen

In the wake of us, you put me to sleep

Think of the man pouring me a drink

Said it would burn, but honey's always been sweet

And what did you say?

What's the line from that song anyway?

(I don't wanna be okay without you)

I retrace

Every ring that your drink glass stained

I never wanted it the same

And she will love you across fault lines

Split her open before you do

They tell her what they need to and I

Go on caving into you

(Like I tend to do, but I think you always knew)

It was hazy

Slurred words didn't phase me

Said I looked pretty when I cry

Could've worked another time, right?

(Right?)

Twenty paces to my door

Don't know what I stood there for

Voices bled into my ears

I could feel you disappear

What would happen if you stayed?

If I called another day?

Wash over me in gray

Every wave broke out in flames

Things we don't talk about

People I can't live without

Careful not to make a sound

What was it really about?

(You watch me leave

You've done it before)

Things we don't talk about

(Your promise, your word)

People I can't live without

Careful not to make a sound

All you do is haunt me now

(Sift through the remains of seventeen)

Haunt me now

(In the wake of us you put me to sleep)

And she will love you

And she will love you

And she will love you

And she will love you

And she will love you
