On The Curve

I was better off not knowing what you saidA thousand words were spoken but none of them were meantYou call out for faster earthCuz you struggle when it's slowYou battle like you want itBut when you get it you let goYou keep me on the curveThis is how it always endsThis is when you know you're standing backwards and strainingAnd you won't even face meWith a burden in one handFor the sake of all I hopeYou're practiced and perfectCuz you aren't even worth itI was better off not knowing what you meantAn act a notion a thought and none of it made senseYou cry out for slower earthCuz you falter when it's fastAnd you say that you still need itBut then you won't let go the pastAnd you keep me on the curveThis is how it always endsThis is when you know you're standing backwards and strainingAnd you won't even face meWith a burden in one handFor the sake of all I hopeYou're practiced and perfectCuz you aren't even worth itOh I know why we're never ever gonna get thereAnd maybe all this is ancient historyIf I love someone they knowThere's something out there I holdThis is how it always endsThis is when you know you're standing backwards and strainingAnd you won't even face meWith a burden in one handFor the sake of all I hopeYou're practiced and perfectCuz you aren't even worth itFeel the hurtI know we're never ever gonna get thereAnd maybe that's what you wanted all this timeI was better off not knowing where you went, you keep me on the curve
