Knowing this won't work
Knowing I'm breaking you
Is digging a chasm in me
Unable to reach the other side
I gaze muted and cracked with a lighter
Watching your bridges burn
Ashes drifting away
Feelings flickering out with the wind

Why did I agree
Knowing I love another
Knowing that you'll hurt
It's all unstoppable
So inescapable
Caught in a never-ending loop
But I can't quite let you go
Because somewhere I care

Why should we put ourselves through
All of this unnecessary bleeding
Knowing nothing will happen
Knowing there won't be surprises
Thousands of questions fill the air
Forming strong gusts by edges of the chasm
If we both fall off
Would things be better?
