Expressions

We should probably write it down
All the times I came up short
I never get it right
We’ve done this dance before
The life moves from your face
Expressions change
The news, it breaks
Like my bones, it cracks and aches
It’s not a game anymore
Choice words and a treaty for the war
I’m not an outlet for your verbal abuse
I’ll spend a lot of time and energy
To try and make things better than before
Better than before
I’ll sacrifice my dignity for you and you alone
No one else will know
No one else will know
We should probably write it down
All the times I came up short
