Old Love from Quartered by Hello Whirled

I sense you’re holding something back
something I’ll never get to know
you’re falling far from the converge
there’s nothing angry yet I haven’t heard

what’s the bad news you’re saving?
is it old love you’re craving?
times change, honey, is it worth it to quit?
holding in every line
but you can’t stop time
you changed, honey, so I’m taking the hint

you can take your chance and stay with me
or you can pick the right choice and be free
nothing I can do to make you see
anything other than the truth

you’re staying up much later now
not doing anything, just sitting down
it’s clear to me you’re tired of the same
but am I the one to pick up all the blame?

what’s the bad news you’re saving?
is it old love you’re craving?
it’s not funny when you sleep in my bed
holding in every line
but you can’t stop time
words mean something when you’re silent instead

used to be a happy two
you turned to stone I don’t know you
what happened, dear, it’s not that clear
a sentence might be fitting here
came together in better times
now we’re just two parallel lines
headed for a slow decline
in perpetual motion

I used up my chance to stay with you
clearly that was the wrong thing to do
nothing I can do to make you see
anything other than the truth
