Cut the Cord

I never thought from all I've been taught
 That this would end as a failed connection
 A failed expression of what I thought
 Would be a way for me to escape
 But now I'm just here to wait
 Hoping fate won't dictate the inevitable
 This just feels like static stuck with no way
 To connect to this habit, this adapted rapture
 Free time falls back in line with the last of it
 But I can still hear her
 Flipping through channels of my mind hoping to understand
 Why this couldn't be the solution of my needs
 And having to say goodbye, sending my last words through a telephone
 Hoping the cords will make it from my home to her ear
 What I thought would be a three year commitment ended
 When someone more persistent promised to make things easier
 Now I feel so many tears for her as she spoke softly almost in a whisper
 And I replied I won't hit nine, I'll just leave a voicemail here
 I fear we're at the end and now this connection no longer seems clear
 I hate to demote to the last hope
 Without a universal way to put this power to this
 I feel like I'm stuck without a remote
 And no access to a package beyond the basics
 So let's face it, you didn't care about me
 As much as you said you would before I made this commitment
 And that's life I guess, but I'll face it because what option to I have
 Now that this analog relationship feels so outdated
 You used to be where I would turn to after a day of hard work
 An hour of sifting through monotonous misused paper work
 And fakes and jerks pretending to understand me like you do, it's true
 All that I saw in you was so vibrant and true
 I felt like Ted Danson, Tony Danza, Matthew Broderick
 And Mel Brooks could all be seen in you
 And that's something I could never say for the women I tried to relate to
 But I still can't seem to thank you
 Because despite the memories of late nights with you
 This is now just an unmoving static, and I can't handle it
 So I'll make it quick and I'll make it quiet
 No need for a final broadcast, I never want to see you
 Because there's no love when it's just a pay-per-view
 When you get this voicemail don't call back it's too late for that
 I'm already with someone else as a matter of fact
 So I'll just come out and say I'm leaving
 No drama, I'll make it fast
