Shape Shifter



Lyrics

I heard you don't believe in God anymore
I heard you fell out of love
I heard you don't call back home anymore
Heard you replaced all of us
But my hands still shake just the same
I've got no one to blame just the same
I'm still lying on the floor the same place
As before we wandered separate ways
And I never had anything more than this, just take it

I thought I told you
I'd only break your heart if I had to
Is that what friends do?
I thought you swore you knew, I could've sworn you knew
With every shifting shape
And every shade of gray we made
I wasn't sure that I could wait
I thought you swore you wouldn't wait

Tell me how much you've changed tell I'm still to blame
Tell me how much you missed me last month
Tell me all about what keeps you up at night
Tell me you're too tired, you're too tired to fight
But don't say that you're only interested
In going all the way back to what this was
All the way back to a different us
And I never had anything more than this, just take it

I thought I told you
I'd only break your heart if I had to
Is that what friends do?
I thought you swore you knew, I could've sworn you knew
With every shifting shape
And every shade of gray we made
I wasn't sure that I could wait
I thought you swore you wouldn't wait
