daggers lyrics
part i: breaks

you used to run for the track team
but i miss how you’d run to me
when tears would run for you
i would comfort you
‘til he would come for you
i know he’d always come first
cause when you were unsure
you would confer with me and i’d confirm
that he wasn’t the one for you
d+mn, i was so in love with you
we used to run together
you would break a sweat with me
as you sweat a break with him
come to me for the escapism
and we had fun together
but i didn’t shoot my shot
i thought you would shoot me down like a clay pigeon
i was waiting for a great schism
but i should have known better
even though he only cared about his own pleasure
and there was more of me than him up in your phone records
i was really trying not to be a home+wrecker
i even saw him dance with other girls at homecoming
you missed the dance just to stay home from him
he idled in the bathroom alone puffing
on some contraband camels just to smoke something
you made him promise to get sober before that
he had no problem doing dirt behind your back
you caught him red+handed, yellow+fingered, swore that
you finally knew he only saw you as a doormat
thought it was the last straw, ‘til you let him have his camels back
the man of straw that never broke the camel’s back
i hate that i thought when it all unraveled that
i might finally have a shot, since he couldn’t stand a chance
and you decided that it had to end there
but when you finally found it in yourself to break the news
he knew to ball himself up and to bawl his eyes out
because the vulnerability would help him break the rules
and how could you break up when it made him break down?
you talked it out and told me that you felt a breakthrough
but the codependence had you so invested
that if you ever broke loose, all h+ll would break loose
part ii: daggers

[chorus]
i felt the daggers you’d take in the back
when you caught him cheating you were taken aback
you swore him off, but you didn’t end it
you only ended up taking him back

[verse 1]
one year later, i’ve got a girlfriend
thought it’d be you now but you’re still with him
a trip around the sun and i’ve finally moved on
but it’s one year later, you decide that you want
to make your confession of all that you felt
that you compared him to me and questioned yourself
that you had thoughts of leaving him for me more than once
and you’re sorry it took you twelve months

[bridge]
but if i only knew
just how much you’d been meaning to
that you would’ve if i gave you a reason to
but you stayed in spite of his cheating too

[verse 2]
three years later, i ask you to grab lunch
it’s kinda random, but too good to pass up
we grab a booth at a diner and catch up
talking over hash browns and oj in glass cups
i still make you crack up, you laugh just the same
i ask whatever happened to you and whatshisname
it’s been three years, i’m hoping your status has changed
but you say it hasn’t, and have to explain
[bridge 2]
how you debated whether
you could take all the pressure of remaining tethered
you say he changed for the better, so you stayed together
and you plan to move out of state together
but if i only knew
just how much you’d been meaning to
that you would’ve if i gave you a reason to
but you stayed in spite of his cheating too

[chorus]
i felt the daggers you’d take in the back
when you caught him cheating you were taken aback
you swore him off, but you didn’t end it
you only ended up taking him back
