The ball is in your court
And I can't play this game anymore

The ball is in your court
And I can't play this game anymore

And I 've been keeping score
And I can't play this game anymore
The ball is in your court...

Hello...
Within quotes would be appropriate
But no...
The weight of this just keeps my lips
Aimed low
Am i gazing at my stomach or my shoelace
I think
As long as i don't look at you

I'm fine
What you throw at me is easy
Through phone wires
But your face reads like an autopsy Those lines
That crumple outward from the sides of
Your eyes
Are not from smiling all the time

Maggie, it's been a while
But i'm sad to say
That nothing's changed
I thought i'd left behind
All that kept me frail...

So...
You're dancing more these days
And it shows
Adding 12 step and that 2 step that
I know
The one we used to do together
Where the tempo
Was far too fast in beat

And i'll speak
As if age were backing me
But what i see
Are the same two kids
And one's in tears and is tightly
Grabbing on to one who's weak
But trying
As her make up bleeds into his sleeve

Maggie, it's been a while
But i'm sad to say
That nothing's changed
I thought i'd left behind
All that kept me frail
And there's been improvement
But it's still useless
I can't be your friend

Cause I can't be the mourner
I was before
I can't recall
When you weren't sinking
And when I'm in your corner
I only feel walls
I feel them fall
And it keeps me thinking
That in this place
The only way
Your problems changed
Is how it grew
Up
With
You

Maggie, it's been a while
But i'm sad to say
That nothing's changed
I thought i'd left behind
All that kept me frail
And there's been improvement
But it's still useless
I can't be your friend

Not after what happened.
