[Verse 1]
Look at me, look at me (Oh)
Promise that I won't admit it
I'm a wall, I'm a wall (Oh)
Take your time, take your time (Oh)
All it takes to keep me quiet
Keep it up, keep it up (Oh)

[Chorus]
The tragedy is your survival
In direct correlation to
Proximity in the revival of me and you
I know what breaks and kills me off is
Twenty times the rub to you
I'm holding up the revival of not being in love
I promise that I'm doing this for you
I promise that I'm doing this for you

[Verse 2]
Make her proud, keep her around (Oh)
I can hear your mind through silence
Down the road, down the road (Oh)
I'm close, I'm close (Oh)
Gotta calculate my niceness
For the best, for the best (Oh)
It's taken a lot out of me to
Be as cold as you require
Take it on, take it on (Oh)
Not good for you, not good for me (Oh)
Look at us, we're both so tired
Need a minute, give me a minute (Oh)
[Chorus]
The tragedy is your survival
In direct correlation to (Ah, oh)
Proximity in the revival of me and you (Ah, oh)
I know what breaks and kills me off is
Twenty times the rub to you (Ah, oh)
I'm holding up the revival of not being in love
I promise that I'm doing this for you
I promise that I'm doing this for you (Oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
I'm not trying to tell you
How to live I
Speak in suggestion
It's not my place but I
Hope that you are good to you
While I'm not around to take care of you

[Chorus]
The tragedy is your survival
In direct correlation to
Proximity in the revival of me and you
I know what breaks and kills me off is
Twenty times the rub to you
I'm holding up the revival of not being in love
