Answering Machine

I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away

I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away

I met a new one and she looks just like you
She gives me everything that you didn't want to
Maybe I don't need saving after all

She sticks in my ribs
Almost better than you did
Maybe I'm tired or maybe she glows

I wonder if you're still defending
I wonder if you're still defending

'Cause I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)
I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away

I met someone with your eyes and your skin
I can convince her of anything
And baby, it's so delicious you should
Come here and see for yourself

"'Cause I'm gone", you said
If this is all there is
And you'll never shine alone

I wonder if you're still defending
And I wonder if you're still defending

'Cause I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)
I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away

And your new anthems that you breathe
And I've got you on my answering machine

'Cause I've kissed others lips
And they promised to heal me
And it's easy if you try, just try

And I wonder if you're still defending
I wonder love, I wonder

'Cause I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)
I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away

('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)
I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
(So long, so long)

And your new anthems that you breathe
And I've got you on my answering machine
I got your anthems and I can hardly breathe
And I've got you on my answering machine, machine

'Cause I can fall alone if all
If I can fall away
