lyrics

If it's all the same to you,
I'd prefer to be in love with somebody new
We've done things we can't undo
So you can stay here
But I'm gonna pass through

It isn't time, it isn't space
It's not fate and it's not a chase
It's an empty fireplace
It isn't time, it isn't space
No use holding on just in case
We're an empty fireplace

No matter what I gave
You needed more
Now there's nothing to save
From here, the road is unpaved
And you'll be pulled out to sea by the tidal wave

I can't be the one to hold you up
I can't heal, you can only corrupt
There's a time to be still and a time to disrupt
The falling goes slow
But the ground feels abrupt
