She sees the tone in his voice, evidence of his choice
to sever everything they've been developing
She goes from do-as-your-told
to watching creases unfold
she'll ascertain to what extent he is enveloping
Every day that turns
she's getting smaller, when she's feeling insecure
he doesn't bother to do anything for her
allegiance makes him taller, so she's putting up her guard
it makes her want to holler
You'll never know until you get much older
that you could take a dip, but the water's colder
than you remember it, cause you're rarely sober
you don't even care that it's almost over
Before the leaving that she's finally achieving
she's seeing all the energy lost when she lived so emptily
now she's learning love he simply wasn't earning
he held on so assertively, her heart became his currency
She's trying not to fold but she's simply empty-handed
now that he's thinly veiled she sees she never could have managed
what's clearly not her fault, the logic's not demanded
he doesn't feel the urge to try and fix the damage
You'll never know until you get much older
that you could take a dip but the water's colder
than you remember it, cause you're rarely sober
you don't even care that it's almost over
You'll never know until you get much older
that you could take a dip but the water's colder
than you remember it, cause you're rarely sober
you don't even care, you don't even care
