Lyrics Always Knew - Asal Takesh

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
