Web of Veins

The web of veins over your eyes
 Gave away your time
 And then took over mine
 Tattoo with a name in the middle
 Had it when the times were still civil
 Now it's also pride in the postscript
 That says look I was not the one that broke it
 Funny how things turn out
 Only the ink in my arm
 Is anything other than faded now
 Started the year with nothing between us
 Except your ex-boyfriend's left behind t-shirts
 And I wore them with an ill-just pride
 Same kind of satisfying smile
 With which someone new is now wearing mine
 And we left the door open
 But the point in walking through is long gone
 And we swore that we were broken
 But we can't even do that anymore
 We can't even do that anymore
 Watched the slow motion replay in real-time
 Your gradual extrication from my life
 Found a lack of headlines to point at
 No great betrayal, no tragedy, no freak-out
 And we left the door open
 But the point in walking through is long gone
 And we swore that we were broken
 But we can't even do that anymore
 We can't even do that anymore
 Been playing havoc with your hem and your hair now
 As we meet at the top of the stairs and
 You wear a dress that I'm not sure if I've seen before
 It's a statement of intent I guess that says I don't know you anymore
 And we left the door open
 But the point in walking through is long gone
 And we swore that we were broken
 But we can't even do that anymore
 We can't even do that anymore
 The web of veins over your eyes
 Gave away your time
 And then took over mine
