Crash

Standing up, letting it break
I’m done with all that I can take
Staring up, leaning against something I don’t love

The gray has all gone to black
And I the times I said I wouldn’t take back
Are sitting in the backseat with me now

And he deserves so much more
Than what you left broken, lying on the floor
So I try to give him all that I can feel

And staring up, I stutter and say
The night light has all broken away
I tell you how I love the stars

Can you see that one so bright?
But all he sees is the black night
And says the stars are coming crashing down

Well, let them crash
Let them fall and rain on you and me
Let them crash
We’ve done all that we were meant to be
Let them fall and weep and cry like tears
I’m done with all my fenced in fears
Let them crash
I’m ready to be broken

I can’t cry to him how it’s not about you
I can’t love to him like I used to do
And I wish I could feel that all he says is real

The smoke has soaked into our skin
But I still won’t let him in
I want to, let him in, let you go

The crying’s done, at least that’s true
The look in my eyes, about broken truths
Can I let go of the lies I try to hide?

And staring up, I stutter and say
The night light has all broken away
I tell you how I love the stars

Can you see that one so bright?
But all he sees is the black night
And says the stars are coming crashing down

Well, let them crash
Let them fall and rain on you and me
Let them crash
We’ve done all that we were meant to be
Let them fall and weep and cry like tears
I’m done with all my fenced in fears
Let them crash
I’m ready to be broken
