Ten lyrics
by La Dispute
[Intro]
I promised Colin I'd keep writing, and
That's the only promise I've kept, but
I have no regrets. Like your empty mailbox?
It doesn't bother me
Not at all
[Verse 1]
And I promised you I'd come visit soon
Guess I should've made the trip, but
Money's tight as rope and time too. And
You know how it goes better than anyone
There isn't ever much of anything we need or
Think we do, so I don't feel bad
I don't feel bad
[Chorus]
And somewhere you cut me out
Fall in love to rinse your mouth
[Refrain]
But it doesn't bother me at all
[Verse 2]
I promised Colin I'd take off to you soon
On an old deck in Louisville, Kentucky
Four stories up, six AM and ten deep
While they were sleeping, and
I said, “Keep me in check, friend.” And he tried
But I couldn't be
And that small window closed, and I
Never really kept writing either, just
Stared downward at the page most times or
Thought about it real hard
And there must be something missing in me that
She's there and I'm still here because
That's messed up
But I don't feel bad about it
[Chorus]
And somewhere you cut me out
Fall in love to rinse your mouth
[Refrain]
But it doesn't bother me at all
But it doesn't bother me at all
But it doesn't bother me at all
But it doesn't bother me at all
[Bridge 1]
I have tried hard to stay hopeful in these moments
They cut ropes to set you free
I have always tried to point the finger elsewhere
This time it points to me
[Refrain]
But it doesn't bother me at all
But it doesn't bother me at all
But it doesn't bother me at all
But it doesn't bother me at all
[Bridge 2]
Each chance to lock arms, to lie long in locked eyes (But it doesn't bother me at all)
And I failed to let go, to cut ties with my life (But it doesn't bother me at all)
But I'm torn, and reborn, see I died when you left (But it doesn't bother me at all)
But each word since that day was your name from my chest (But it doesn't bother me at all)
And each chance to lock arms, to lie long in locked eyes (But it doesn't bother me at all)
And I failed to let go, to cut ties with my life (But it doesn't bother me at all)
And I'm torn, and reborn, see I died when you left (But it doesn't bother me at all)
But each word since that day was your name from my chest (But it doesn't bother me at all)
Each chance to lock arms, to lie long in locked eyes (But it doesn't bother me at all) (I am afraid)
And I failed to let go, to cut ties with my life (But it doesn't bother me at all) (I am afraid)
And it doesn't bother me at all
And it doesn't bother me at all
