Half Of The Time
It only hurts half of the time
When you’re not around I miss your sounds
And I’m worn down by worry again
About who I should be now and who I have been
It only hurts half of the time
I pile up the projects and pretend that i’m fine
Everything’s still in it’s place
Waiting for you to walk in just in case…
There’s a world going on
In what you’ve arraigned
Some play with no name
To make things seem less strange
It only hurts half of the time
When you’re not here it’s clear
I’m the line with no rhyme
Incomplete or at least sounding wrong
But sooner or later one will come along
Because it only hurts half of the time
I’ve been on ice, but it’s thin as a dime
And i’m smiling at the sight of the sun
Come break through and undo
All my heart has become
In this world where I walk
Through what we’ve arraigned
The ball was dropped
But the chain gained a change
It only hurts, half of the time
It only hurts, half of the time
It only hurts, half of the time
It only hurts, half of the time
