Spoon Theory

The Grand Pricks

I finally made you tear up
Then you snapped and said I’d pushed
I said you were giving up
Because I saw it like it was
I asked if we were meant to lose
It’s not like there weren’t issues
To name the end before it came
But we both knew it felt the same

Waiting for the news to break
Do you think we made a mistake?
To give too much and never take
I don't have enough bones to break

I cannot make you take my hand 
I cannot make you change your plan
I cannot make you understand
I cannot do what no one can
I cannot slow the turning tide
I cannot heal the fear you hide
I cannot burn and still survive
I cannot leave this love alive

Your light was blinding, warm, and wild
I got too close, I stayed a while
We tried to dance above the flame
But we both knew we’d end the same
You weren’t wrong, it’s not your fault
We drew a heart across the salt
We named it love, we named it fate
But we both knew it came too late

Waiting for the news to break
Do you think we made a mistake?
To give too much and never take
I don't have enough bones to break

I cannot make you take my hand
I cannot make you change your plan
I cannot make you understand
I cannot do what no one can
I cannot mend what's come undone
I cannot fight what you've outrun
I cannot breathe when there's no air
I cannot ask you to stay here

Elizabeth, thank you for all your time
I took all I could get
It kills me so
I wish that I could call you mine
The avalanche of love and pain abides
Nothing else to try
You know I'd break all of my bones to make you smile
Ms. Ladybird, I said to take your time
And I meant every word 
But we both know I will not ever call you mine
A circumstance when love and pain collides
And it changed our lives
You know I'd wait until the world ran out of time
