The Moment That It Stops - The Narrative

Lazy days
you're the only thing they waste away
You're so afraid
of all the problems you've been faking

And you will wonder where I've gone
when you want me to make your heart sing
The boys will still be chasing on
but they can't guarantee the whole thing

And when you cry
the eyeliner will slip beneath your eyes
you catch your breath
brush off your cheek
still aching as your hands grip at your sides
he wrecks your dress

Daring words
do you believe that I've been stealing time?
And all that hurts
will only fade as the days fly

And then you'll open up your arms
and you'll be soon to let me in, dear
Free from the heartache of his harm
when we're the only ones who'll be here

And when you cry
the eyeliner will slip beneath your eyes
you catch your breath
brush off your cheek
still aching as your hands grip at your sides
Oh, I wreck your dress

I think a change is what I need
(I thought you needed someone you knew you could trust entirely)
I've always been fine on my own
(I thought that you were growing tired of always feeling alone)
These days drag on, I'm losing faith
(You said we'd work it out together but you're pushing me away)
Well I'm here but I fear my heart is not
(You said your heart would follow me until the moment that it stops)

You should have known
with all the things I crowded in your mind
I'd leave you a mess
