Calling It Quits

Artists : Hands Fall Open : Calling It Quits

of all the insults you had
was this the one for me,
never to be (just) second best
(was what you´ve said to me)
what do i have to say,
to make it sound right

there must be a reason when
it seems we wish our hearts would speak,
as much as I would wish this day had never been a day at all,
when we choke on words while waiting for a sign

keep us reminded
my thoughts are on
something that feels so wrong
still undecided
looking back at
things that were left undone

I shook as I had listened, your voice leaves my ears ringing,
love that´s unforgiving, count the days that I´ve been struck with fright
countless days that I´ve spent not caring, hope that lies abandoned,
they move so slow, am I able to deceive myself
I wish I could be an escape artist

convictions have run out, I left it all behind
walked a thousand miles, those pictures in my mind
now I see you lying here, you´re gone beneath my skin
disaster is already here, can´t do this all again

You´ll never be mine
