Never Want You Back

I never told a lie i didn't wish was true

She loves me like she's clinging to her life

The future's a phone call from the grandchildren's room

She loves being a mother, and she's an excellent wife

But the silence finds truth between every word

I threw my phone in the road in the busiest lane

Cause it calls you by habit when i got nothin' to say

And it won't let me pick up if it isn't your name

And even if it did, what would i talk about anyway?

Cause my secrets are told by the silence i keep

The whole world's on mute; only your words repeat

I won't ever want you back

It takes two and i won't dance

Like you were taking out the trash

Turning now into the past

My brain knows the pain i'm about to endure

So i'm stumbling through the day like i don't know my left from the ground

It's like time is a surgeon and i'm under the knife

And i'm not allowed to think til you're removed and i'm found

But those phantom pains ache like i'm losing a limb

When i reach out to touch you, you're just touching him

I won't ever want you back

It takes two and i won't dance

Like you were taking out the trash

Turning now into the past

I won't ever want you back

Keep my heart and keep my past

And die alone from living fast

Three more lies i wish were fact
