callous from flightless by lovedoll

must have fell to my knees one too many times for you
ripped new holes in my jeans, so we were clean, it felt new
i grabbed ahold of your arms i held so hard both your wrists
you must have thought me cuffs, and so you cut me from your limbs

now off you go,
another man
when you know
our bigger plans
my knees were scraped
i never cared
bruise up my bones
you hold my hair
i hoped they’d callous but
i’m just bleeding bare

you kept yourself safe, made sure nothing broke the skin
so when unearthed you remained unscathed by the sin
i wish i had that built in armor that you’ve donned
so it didn’t kill me to know how well you’ve moved on
you did

now off you go,
another man
when you know
our bigger plans
my knees were scraped
i never cared
bruise up my bones
you hold my hair
you were so callous
and i so easily teared

it’s really over, wonder when it will feel real
seems like just yesterday that we were made of steel
searching for the point at which i lost my appeal
i’d give up anything if it meant that we healed
home to me
come home to me
come home to me
home

now off you go,
another man
when you know
our bigger plans
my knees were scraped
i never cared
bruise up my bones
you hold my hair
you were so callous
and i so easily teared
