Watch Me Fall Apart - Sarah Jaffe

You said once you were sad

But I don’t believe you

You’re too simple in the head

For pain to please you

There are days when you feel good

And days when you feel nothing at all

But there is no inbetween

And is that, that kills you

Cause you don’t know what to do

Which page to thumb through

On all of my failures I’ve leaned

But with God as my witness I fall

Oh one by one they watch me fall apart

Oh one by one they watch me fall apart

Forgive me I’m empty

And I want you to need me

Your assurance is a game

And I’m always bluffing

Like suburban nature

I’ve separated myself

But I’ll kindly grit my teeth

Swallow and bury it

Unsettled and anxious

And now I’m careless

And I’m swearing in my sleep

Cursing at the day, as it goes by

Oh one by one they watch me fall apart

Oh one by one they watch me fall apart
