C5
Wish I could remember
       G5
why it mattered to me.
           D5
It doesnt matter to me.
           F5
It doesnt matter to me
 C5
anymore.
          A5
Now that youre
         G5
feeling fine,
      F5
Ill admit that  though

I know its coming down,
and see it shattering me
 it doesnt matter to me,
and Im not sadder for
seeing it come.
Im not going to run.
I will just come
when I am called.
            D5     G5
You want to cut me off
           D5       G5
because I took too much,
            F5
but dont leave me alone
               A5
Take off your scarves,
             G5
your winter coat.
                 F5      F5
The nights too cold.

When we met I should have said
youre like a sister to me,
how all that kiss her just seem
like puny suitors I can see through,
how none will do,
no not for you,
how it might as well just be us two.

And when I pulled you by the jacket
from the clattering street,
you started flattering me,
you started saying I was so strong.
String me along,
but I cant become
all that Im called.

And I cant claim to know
what makes love die or grow,
but I can still take control
and so refuse to just go home,
back down the hall.

And as I crawl,
as finally all
the false confetti blooms
up in this attic room ,
Im going make my stand.
I want to see both of your hands
put down the phone.

I wont let you go,
although
the moment stole
my self-control
from us all
and now it can only end
end with a fall.
