I’ll grin as I’m sorting through my junk heap
And shifting out to human parts again to feel your heat
I hope you never underestimate my power to cope
I've been through worse than this but I don't want to slow down
I don't want to slow down
It's too late you say, I'll face away
Abandon ship it's going down today
I’ve been calling out of work sick
And pouring all my hours into power plays
To get you back
To hear your voice crack under my lack of concern
So what's wrong with me?
I can't be happy for someone who wants to be
alone or simply just a figment of a past
relationship I crashed in vain
But I note you'd never underestimate my power to cope
I'd been through worse than this and didn't want to slow down
Why couldn't I slow down?
It's too late you say, you face away
Abandon ship, I must admit lately
I’ve been calling out of work sick
And pouring all my hours into power plays
To get you back
To hear your voice crack under my lack of concern
But who’s losing this? I’m losing it
I can't be taken by this
My bones are weak
And terribly aligned for
Tracing out your figure as we speak
I take a peek
The cracking in my knees are
Telling me to stay another week
Don’t leave, you’ll wake her
Don’t leave, you’ll make it worse
