lyrics

Everything you try to fix you just make worse
Cut my kitchen table in to pieces
I don’t have the words
Because you broke them down into very basic shapes
And I don’t remember who I was before you started breaking things

When you called to tell me what I was doing wrong
You were a 29 hour drive away
Back where you said I belonged
But the fence you tried to hold up with a string
Blew away the next day that you started breaking things

I thought we were building something
You said you drew some plans
But everything you ever touched just falls apart in my hands

Everything you ever loved just falls apart in your hands

When the spaces in between the lines collapsed
I have to say I felt ok I think we both knew this wouldnt last
But the lengths at which you went to contradict
How you always knew what you were gonna do
But you just needed a place to live

I thought you were building something
You drove off with my plans
But everything you ever touched just falls apart in my hands
Everything you ever touched just falls apart in your hands
