Arm Candy

The boys being boys and the girls being diamonds
See how our tender hearts hold on to violence
I show him off and he loves me in silence
Every excuse is a tiny violin
He's holding on by the skin of my waist
I'm losing myself, even losing my weight
My skin starts to crawl, and he's making me wait
I wait the whole day, just one more day
Gone, gone
Gone
He acts like a child, I act like a wife
As he tries to conquer each part of my life
I love him in peace while he loves me in strife
He likes to undress me right after I cry
I'll be his arm candy, as small as a watch
I've known all the while he's connecting the dots
Another small compromise
Another small loss
I'll kiss it goodbye, just one more piece of me gone
Gone, gone

Watch me
Disappear
Watch me
Disappear
I wanna be nothing
In the middle of nowhere
A crack in the pavement
A pebble on the sand
