for RB, because I know he cares...

♥ Let's play chicken, see who gives up last
We'll see who can play the better role of martyr
     but I know I will 


I'm not frightened by the tell-tale signs of immaturity
Or by the way your voice gets so loud so quickly


Endure - it's what I was taught to do


And I'll let you smooth things over 
     only to get upset with you again about something with no significance
And maybe this time you'll grow a pair and not accept my apology
     but I know you will


Although I blind myself to your dysfunction, I can feel it
     every time you say "we can work this out"
Sometimes I even mean it when I say we can
Sometimes it's even funny to see how hard we try
     to maintain something we're both in so half-assedly 


We exchange whispered and tepid I Love Yous 
     these words nothing but forced from our mouths


So, yes


This game is set up for me to win
     since at everything else I lose
