this is probably the reason we were scared we wouldn't be pals
there are things we can't have now
there are words that now ring alarm bells in your head
there are places I need to be that were yours that can't be anymore
there are shoulders you rested on that you can't anymore
Just can't
Without yanking the sad nostalgia heartstrings right out of each other
Just can't
And after we don't
For long enough
Sooner or later
It's going to be much better
But today
We talk about alarm bells
We shut down places
We find another shoulder
Because we can't
Keep hurting each other
For no reason
So we don't
