Staircase Wit

The feeling starts to sink in

But it's beginning to rust

Still hanging onto the things that we discussed

But the point that was made isn't said and done

Now the sun shines so bright, but it won't shine for you

You remind me of rain in July

And the gloom that I felt for a year

And the clouds are always shaped just like you

But there's a parting light

I always told you that someday

I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way

You always laughed in my face

And made the world seem so grey

Lay in the bed that you made

So I can finally say that I'm fine

You can just say "whatever,"

I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off

But I am cursed with a staircase wit

Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip

Don't judge me on my bad habits

I could pick out every flaw of yours

And unearth all your imperfections

Beneath the surface I have seen

The ugly truth behind the beauty queen

Held it back

Lost the nerve

Was too scared to talk when you gave me your hand

And you gave me your heart

When you should have kept it to yourself

You should have kept it to yourself

I wish you'd kept it to yourself
