The Words You Read - Pnkr

Back doors they’re never that easy

And sure they budge but never for me

I’ve dug deep too deep to find my way out of this town

In high school you never quite knew me

I guess that means we’re not meant to be

Where’d this go?

I didn’t think so

Sit back and watch how far we go

Did you find a way to compromise?

Did you fix your problems or forget to solve them?

And your memories are now the words you read

Times have changed, but not for me

Let’s just forget how I wrote your story

Hey you’re standing on a tightrope

Look down and know this is all she wrote

Hows it feel to be hanging on?

Letting go sounds good until you start to fall

And I know we’re staying here to find

A simple song, a simple line

On a path that leads us blind

Taking words of spite to turn them into rhymes

Did you find a way to compromise?

Did you fix your problems or forget to solve them?

And your memories are now the words you read

Times have changed, but not for me

Let’s just forget how I wrote your story

We played ball late in the park

You stayed still til' after dark

I asked if we could stay the same

The look in your eyes said you’d already changed

I stand for things that don’t stand for me

But the harder I try the further that they seem

We all break through but you break me

Let’s all sing along our story rests in piece

Our story rests in peace
