I could swim through your overactive tear ducts And the rivers down your face We were never close to nothing I still shiver at your name But the water is calming and the memory is fading So I guess I should be smiling at the bottom of the sea It's a balancing act, it's a dangerous thing The way we treat our emotions so flippantly It's infatuation to the hundredth degree And I confuse it for love in my uncertainty When I walk through that town, I can feel it for miles This ever-present silence in the place of my heartbeat Bloomington won't cry for me But Chicago sleeps alone since last December Will you remember me when it all goes south? Cause this tired city has rubbed its eyes for the last damn time For you and me I'll find a better way to run my mouth Cause this is the last song you'll get to say I wrote about you I'm moving on, and God, I hope that's true I was wrong when I told you that I loved you I don't think this fell apart, but I think we built it broken We were shattered from the start And the songs that I've written are mixed with the wreckage Just another grim reminder of the boy I used to be Bloomington won't cry for me But Chicago sleeps alone since last December Will you remember me when it all goes south? Cause this tired city has rubbed its eyes for the last damn time For you and me I'll find a better way to run my mouth Cause this is the last song you'll get to say I wrote about you I'm moving on, and God, I hope that's true Dig me a hole and I'll bury you in it with all my memories I've got a shovel I'm just afraid of seeing them leave me Knock me out cold and I won't say a word Put me in your place I will admit I deserve every bit of gravel on my face Bloomington won't cry for me But Chicago sleeps alone since last December Will you remember me when it all goes south? Cause this tired city has rubbed its eyes for the last damn time For you and me I'll find a better way to run my mouth Cause this is the last song you'll get to say I wrote about you I'm moving on, and I've given up on you
