You're not coming, and I can cope with that
If you'd just leave me alone for once
You're not coming, and I can live with that
If you'd just stop making promises for once

You swear that this time you'll make the point to stop by
You swear you love me, and everything has changed
You swear that this time you'll be a friend who gets it right
You swear that this time you won't go away

You were the brother I'd prayed for
And I was the sister, you swore
But you let everything change
When all I asked was that you'd stay

So don't tell me you're coming if you don't know
Don't tell me you're here if you're going to go
Don't say I'm worth your time if you've got none to spend

Lately You're Shattered

Today is the day I am broken for nothing
Today I need you, but you are in pieces
So I'll not call, and you'll not know
Today I'm cracked, but lately you're shattered

It's only supposed to rain on Thursdays
But today the sun just isn't enough
And I just want to be held for awhile
But you are the one who needs the holding

Every Child

But maybe every one ends up broken hearted
And maybe every child feels beaten on the inside
And maybe the light at the end is just to leave
And maybe someday I'll grow back the part of me that died

You try to tell me who I am
But you were never here to see
I swear I go deeper than you comprehend
But you were never around for me

It didn't have to happen this way
But I grew up and you grew far
Can I really be blamed for stature
Or are you to be blamed for distance?

No one runs away all at once
The first step is never out the door
You're still right there but you've been gone for so long
