You say
“It’s fine”
Staring at the fridge light humming
Half-warm wine
Both our phones still buzzing
You laugh too loud
At a joke I didn’t make
I’m taking notes
On every tiny quake
We’re borderline
Half in
Half leaving
One word away
From finally meaning it
Don’t say “I’m fine”
I hear you bleeding
We’re toeing that line
Oh
We’re borderline
Your coat still hangs
On the hook by my front door
Your spare key
Cuts a groove in my top drawer
We talk in loops
Say the same things
Softer
Like if we whisper
It won’t cost us after
We’re borderline
Half in
Half leaving
One word away
From finally meaning it
Don’t say “I’m fine”
I hear you bleeding
We’re toeing that line
Oh
We’re borderline
Maybe we crash
Or maybe we climb
But I’m done living
In almost and might
If we’re gonna break
Baby
Let it shatter
If we’re gonna stay
Say I’m what matters (say it)
We’re borderline
Half in
Half leaving
One word away
From finally meaning it
Don’t say “I’m fine”
Say what you’re feeling
Step over that line
Or let it die
We’re borderline
