Attrition

I don't know what to say to you anymore Your look of disappointment, sharp enough to draw blood Those faces I held so very dear Are now just passing mentions in my ear It's like I've sown salt into the earth Do you believe what you're saying? You know I could not lie to you A zero sum game, a war of attrition Where the only way to win is not to play I always acted like I didn't give a f*ck But now the act has become a habit and it's stuck I lost a best friend, gained a lover for two months Then turned my back on that place, and let it fall to dust You were the best side of me Do you believe what you're saying? You know I could not lie to you A zero sum game, a war of attrition Where the only way to win is not to play I want to take it all back I want to make promises that I'll keep You asked me "Do I still think about you?" I said "Not that often; just when I breathe"
