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
