(c) 2011 Stephie Coplan

lyrics

I don't know how you fit a rug in that suitcase
But you brought it and unpacked it and unrolled it and laid it on the floor
And swept up four years of crap in my "brand new apartment"
And hoped I wouldn't see it, hoped I wouldn't notice it was there

All I ask is that you see
The sheer enormity
Of what you're asking me

So I'll mend my heart with twine
Numb myself with ice and cheap red wine
Keep my stitches in til the end of time
Whatever it takes to make you mine

And every time it rains, I think of Portland
How your lies got washed away but you'll never be clean
I have this sudden hate of trees and streams and mountains
Even though they didn't do a thing to me

All I ask is that you know
How hard it is to let go
These things that I should forego

So I'll mend my heart with twine
Numb myself with ice and cheap red wine
Keep my stitches in til the end of time
Whatever it takes to make you mine

Studies have shown that death is a process, not a moment
The light starts to hit your eyes as your brain cells die
A pleasant hallucination to the afterlife
It'll take time for one-by-one your lies to die
Leaving me with the strength I need to look you in the eye

So I'll mend my heart with twine
Numb myself with ice and cheap red wine
Keep my stitches in til the end of time
Whatever it takes to make you mine
