Lyrics for Curbside Goodbye

You've buried me here and I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking You've hidden the keys to sleep The sweet careful lines we've crossed And now we never can go back This is what I felt, just being myself but I know that you wouldn't stay Standing at my car with my reasons spent As you drove and made your escape The silence crushing me like I swore it would and I'm left watching Red lights fading out I refuse to accept these excuses you're making As you drive back to your house To save yourself from taking blame The only reason that you came at all I'm here sinking and now we never can go back I chose every word that I knew would hurt But that was a poor choice at best This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense You swore this was right It was better that you're leaving but I'm here with Red lights fading out I refuse to accept these excuses you're making As you drive back to your house To save yourself from taking blame The only reason that you came at all And I'm here with my curbside goodbye This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight As I stay awake to watch the day start without you I'm here sinking, now we can never go back My foundation crippled and cracked Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt, two people dissolve into words Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt, two people dissolve into words Red lights fading out As you drive back to your house The way I've gone a hundred times before But now I'm left behind to make all of this make sense And now your voice is haunting me, just out of reach it buries me Is this the better off that you meant? The way I've gone a hundred times before But now I'm left behind to make all of this make sense And now your voice is haunting me Just out of reach, it buries me, it buries me, it buries me It buries me, it buries me I'm here sinking, we never can go back I'm here sinking, we never can go back I'm here sinking, we never can go back I'm here sinking, we never can go back
