Quilt of Steam

I didn't know where I was until a month or so later

When I woke up, saw the quilt of steam rise off the radiator

Sweating through the layers

Stitched in my own hand

On and on for acres

All I ever wanted was for you to take a second

Drop it all to sit with me

Waiting in the car wondering if you would address it

Or just leave me hurting quietly

I needed a change, but I wasn't brave enough

I needed a beer and a hug and a way out of the crater

I needed a change, so we wouldn't fall out of love

I couldn't admit I was crushed by the weight of being strangers

I carried on folding clothes alone as if it wasn't treason

Acting strong, I just moved along as if it didn't happen

Stoic like a captain, no compass in my hand

Just hold me till it passes

All I ever wanted was for you to take a second

Drop it all to sit with me

Waiting in the car wondering if you would address it

Or just leave me hurting quietly

I needed a change, but I wasn't brave enough

I needed a beer and a hug and a way out of the crater

I needed a change, so we wouldn't fall out of love

I couldn't admit I was crushed by the weight of being strangers

I needed a change, but I wasn't brave enough

I needed a beer and a hug and a way out of the crater

I needed a change, so we wouldn't fall out of love

I couldn't admit I was crushed by the weight of being strangers
