Growing Weary

You've kept your distance
I've kept my promise to you
Home is another place we can't go
So you can deny your feelings
I'll keep giving you sweet words 
That has you second-guessing
I know it seems purposely malicious
I never wanted any harm to you
Can you please not let me wait till the end
Home is another place we can't go
So bury the kisses in the backyard
I'll finish off the liquor
