Spring Training

Spring Training

Autopilot Off
(album: Looking Up)

I found you falling into old routines,
As you layed the final straw across my back.
Familiar with the ending,
The sickening returns,
And I´ve come to find out the equation stays the same.
Every time I think it´s different,
You turn and face me with the truth.
With your eyes so blank and distant,
But that´s nothing new, and looks more like the habit is breaking you.
I should know better than to trust myself.
When guilt and failure bring me back.
I take the beatings for you.
You never felt the fall.
It´s been hard to tell who been sicker all along.

And it is hard to stay indifferent,
As you fall apart in front of me.
Then I choke on the resentment,
But that´s nothing new, and it looks more like the habit is breaking me.

We all break down and we break the promises we make.
