lyrics

Started packing right away
when the door slammed in my face,
through the air still hangs let go of me.

Dragged out the boxes that I saved,
staying busy staves off ache,
paced around enough to power up a small town for days...

Dreams of being frozen in my place
My body won't be dragged down by my brain.

Hesitating, I don't know
Separating dirty clothes
After all this time, can't tell us apart anymore.

I have the power to put a band-aid on a broken arm.
I have the power to let the cord we cut tie us together.
I have the power to recognize my flaws.
But I don't have the power to fix what's wrong.

Books and beds and all and all
Leave the floor, take the walls I guess
Wind me up and watch me walk away

Deconstructing, oh I've been
Efficient and insensitive
White knight in a Uhaul truck
Sleeping on mother's couch for days

With Dreams of being young enough to save
My body will not be dragged down

Spent the last hours in my home
Cleaning everything you own.
It's the least that I can do, it's the least that I can...

I have the power to wait for someone else to hear me talk
I have the power to put my phone away.
I have the power to trap you in my loving arms.
But I don't have the power to fix what's wrong.
