Do Without - Emily Elbert

I’ve been shot and it didn’t make a sound*

As I fall back I see my heart there on the ground

It was too much too fast and we’d gone to far to fix now

And we tried to go back but just couldn’t figure out how

We had it coming

It got too hard to ignore

We both saw it coming

Just couldn’t make it any more

Wrapped up so tight, the tension was too much?

Oh but there will be times when

all I think about’s your touch

I won’t avert my eyes if I see you in the streetlight

But am I wise enough to keep my crying inside

But you’re still the one I’m waiting for

When I get home you’re not there any more

And you’re still the one I dream about

But now I’ll learn how to do without

I didn’t sleep I couldn’t think

Of anything but you and me and how we’ll never be

But possibly We could try and see

Til then I’ll keep this all buried underneath
