Tear me to pieces since that’s what you do
My heart is aching with pictures of you
Philly was a haven for both of us to share
But now I am breathing my sweet Boston air
For yes I do know where we stand
You messed me up completely before we began so…
If diamonds are a girl’s best friend,
Then I’ll be the first one to make my own stand.
I have a habit of putting off the blame
And with some unrecognizable sense of shame
You see, truth be told I can’t help
But notice the window of opportunity
Darling, I’ve seen the cracks and scars of a thousand bleeding hearts
But now, I know….
Tear me to pieces since that’s what you do
My heart is aching with pictures of you
Philly stays a haven for me to stay aware
Of problems that keep us from clearing the air
For yes I do know where we stand
I’m done with this for now, I need a new plan.
So if I really was your best friend,
Then I need to re-evaluate how I make them again.
And if I seem to be awake when the sun rises,
I need to learn how to sleep with my eyes closed.
Honestly when life throws you surprises like this
You need to know where to go
And if it’s probably home…
So let’s tear this to pieces since that’s what we do
Our hearts are beating, this story’s not through
I don’t need a haven for either of us to share
I just need to breathe my own selfish air
For yes I do know where we stand
Admitting it is the hardest part
It’s time to be a man.
Though I miss being your best friend,
I won’t start this over
Or ever again.
