When You Walk Out

You slam the door like it's nothing new Say we're finished, swear you're through But the silence hanging in the room Feels like it already knows the truth We say words we don't believe Throw them out so we can leave But every time you cross that line You pull the same old string in me You say it's over, say it's done But you don't run too far You only call when the fight is gone When the quiet settles in We both swear that it's the end Then we're right back here again Say it's finished, say we're through Throw the match and watch it burn But the moment that you leave You're the one I want to turn We push hard just to pull away Play the part that we both hate Like we're daring someone else To tell us it's too late Truth is hiding in plain sight Every round feels just the same Every goodbye that we shout Just resets the whole damn game You say it's over, say it's done But you don't run too far You only call when the fight is gone When the quiet settles in We both swear that it's the end Then we're right back here again Say it's finished, say we're through Throw the match and watch it burn But the moment that you leave You're the one I want to turn Maybe we just like the fall Maybe that's the truth of it all You only call when the fight is gone When the quiet settles in Every time we cut the line We just tie it back again
