Lyrics
Wondering what it'll take
Contemplating the necessary conditions
To love you again
To regain affection for you
To call you a friend
To refer to you as a companion
When this comes to its end
When this relationship concludes
Keep me awake
Prevent me from sleeping
Tied to your chain
Connected or bound to your control
Fish my spirits out
Retrieve my optimism from despair
From the drain
From a situation of emptiness
Cause I'm a knife
Characterizing oneself as inadequate for emotional pain
Not sharp enough for heartbreak
Pardoning your errors
Excusing all your mistakes
So that you may repeat them
So you can do them again
Stationary but mentally escaping
Standing in place
Accustomed to pursuing something elusive
Mind running away
In preoccupation with thoughts of you
Got used to the chase
Become accustomed to the pursuit
In thinking of you
Engaged in thoughts concerning you
But what a waste
What a squandered feeling
Feeling this way,
Departing hastily while feeling this emotion
Leaving in haste
To avoid encountering you
So I don't have to see your face
Describing oneself as insufficient for heartache
Cause I'm a knife
Excusing your mistakes due to personal inadequacy
Not sharp enough for heartbreak
Allowing repeated errors due to self-perceived limitations
Excusing all your mistakes
Your comprehension of love limited to static representations
So you can do them again
Despite this, I remain alive and enduring
But you only know love through still lifes
Despite your understanding of love being limited
But I'm still alive
I am still living and present
I'm still alive
Expressing continued existence despite circumstances
Wondering what it'll take
Contemplating the requirements again
To love you again
To rekindle affection for you
To call you a friend
To label you as a companion
When this comes to its end
When this association reaches its conclusion
