Her Words Destroyed My Planet

Maybe you were right after all…
Maybe I’m just bad news…
I’ve been drowning in memories
Call it residual blues
I fell asleep watching Veronica Mars again
(Hey!)
I still futz with that tourniquet
I tried to squeeze on your dreams
Slung it on — it’s a perfect fit
What do you suppose that means?
My parents keep asking when you’re planning on coming around
If we’d only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you served destroyed my planet
I stall before I start
I stall before I start anything at all
Got a job at Uncommon Grounds
I finally shaved off that beard
I sold my Xbox to Jimmy down the street
Hell, I even quit smoking weed
I’m taking an online course — I’m learning to speak Japanese
If we’d only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you served destroyed my planet
I stall before I start
I stall before I start anything at all
The things that used to mean so much to me…
Have gone the way of dinosaurs, hopes and dreams, and everything
All I want for you to be is happy or something…
I guess anything is better than the time you spent hoping I’d get it sorted out
I sent you a post card
But the post office sent it back…
They said the building’s been torn down
I just miss what I thought we would have
If we’d only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you served destroyed my planet
It’s all my fucking fault!
If we’d only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you served destroyed my planet
I stall before I start
I stall before I start anything at all
