Subtraction

The hurt across your face

Your word against mine

The rhythm you repeat,

The beat a hair behind

Were you on my side?



You gave your all, but you gave it once

A lesson that you thought

You could teach it when you want

Subtract me from your heart

Little take-away girl



One step at a time

You made us angry

All your love could hide

But we knew you were afraid



We accept, but un-accept

We made up, we're breaking up

You thought you had enough

But maybe you didn't know

That this stage holds our show



One step at a time,

You showed us angry

All your love could hide,

But we knew you were afraid



Misery, I digress

No recourse, no remorse

Let it be, I confess

To every song that brought you back



Misery, I digress

No recourse, no remorse

Let it be, I confess

To every song that brought you back
