[Verse 1]
How come,
Carnage is the nature of love?
So sad, but I ain't tryin to hate ya
I'm dumb,
Thinkin' over you,
Thinkin' how it feels to know there's nothin' I can do
How come,
I'm out on a Saturday?
Lookin' at your pictures on my phone in a sadder way
Goin' out to bars, goin' out to ours,
Lonely karaoke our entire repertoire,
How come,
Our silence ain't inspired by hope- just loss
I can hardly even cope
It's dumb,
Or maybe I am biased,
I wouldn't mind us back but I know you won't even try it
How come it's,
Heavy in my feet?
Heavy in defeat,
Ready to retreat,
But I'm livin' downtown, color and sound,
Wander where we used to; try to see you around

[Verse 2]
What are you afraid of- is it me?
Scared that I and this new life you want cannot agree?
Scared of being sad; everything we had,
Scared if we picked up again the overlap'd break your fuckin' back
Girl, have you forgotten what we were?
The internal torture what I helped you to endure?
You think I'm a burden, I can't get a word in, hurtin'
You're callin' it curtains in no uncertain wordin'
But it can't be the black and white
Villainy; you're actin' like
You and me don't act alike
You and me can't have a life
Said you couldn't see me now, and barely told me why
Left me in a borrowed home and never said goodbye,
How come,
Destruction was the function of us?
Like love plus love was bust
It's dumb,
I'm countin' up our stories
But they don't add up- I swear I thought we'd end in glory
How come I'm,
Waiting out a Sunday?
Hungover and hoping you and me'll have our someday
One,
Mourning drink and I'm finished
Just to take the edges off-a life when you're not in it
How come,
This hole you left is bigger than your presence?
'Cause it's messin' with the remnants of my reverence
I'm dumb,
I need to learn to doubt you,
But sometimes I forget that I am still myself without you
How come this,
Gift can't stop giving?
Thinkin' of your voice's noise just poisons where I'm living
It's some,
Quantum kind of fuckery-
At least it is for you, 'cause it completely fuckin' sucks for me.

[Outro]
How come,
carnage is the nature of love?
So sad, but I ain't tryin to hate ya
I'm dumb,
Thinkin' over us,
Thinkin' how my feelings weren't something I could trust

How come,
Destruction was the function of us?
Like love plus love was bust
It's dumb,
I'm countin' up our day-to-day
But it don't add up, I swear I thought we'd end some other way
