i erase everything i say because i know it will be used against me
and everything i say is too much, it's always too many
chances i give you, please take what's left
of my fragmented words, because i've tried my best.
your fingernails are curved and jagged
like the hair in your eyes
and the outline of the moon
i'll set my watch next time, until you say it's too soon
but i know you'll be late, and you know i can wait
but maybe next time you shouldn't write in pen.
so with every tarnished piece of jewelry
you've ever given to me
you can remember that you've worn me out.
