Call It The end - Aliza
Call it
Half-lit pictures
You said fine
But your eyes flinched first
You're on your side of the bed
Scrolling through anything but us
I keep tracing every word
That we threw instead of trust
We've been talking in circles
Till the floor begins to spin
If loving you means losing me
Where do we even begin?
Maybe we should call it the end
Stop trying to bend
What's already breaking
I'm tired of pretending again
Like we're gonna mend
What keeps on aching
If letting you go
Is the last way I can love you
Then maybe we should call it the end
There's a crack in your laughter
A little tremor in your jaw
You keep asking small questions
Just to dodge the biggest one
Every plant on the fridge door
Feels like clothes we never wore
I can't wear this silence
Like it's something I adore
Maybe we should call it the end
Stop trying to bend
What's already breaking
I'm tired of pretending again
Like we're gonna mend
What keeps on aching
If letting you go
Is the last way I can love you
Then maybe we should call it the end
I don't want to be the villain in your stories
You don't want to be the shadow over mine
We were beautiful before we turned to warnings
So I'll be brave enough
To draw the final line
Maybe we should call it the end
Stop trying to bend
What's already breaking
Done with defending this thread
Like it's something more than what we're faking
If letting you go
Is the last way I can love you
Then maybe we should call it the end
Turn out the light
Leave the key on the chair
You'll walk out first
I'll stay
And stare
One deep breath
One last text
Unsent
Under my breath
I call it the end
