Without Blinking

We kicked over every game board
Threw the last piece behind the bed
Took some pictures, held them by the edges
Folded every one til they could not be read
Folded all the pictures and the drawings
So they would not know what went on
Subtracted all the good stuff from the bad
So they would not know what went wrong
Did you really do this without thinking?
Or was there some concentration at work?
'Cause when you said, "I'm sorry," you were not blinking
You can't pretend to not know how that hurts
You can't pretend to not know now
You can't pretend to not know now
You can't pretend to not know
And even when the scenery looks good
Must you stare down at the floor?
You said one day it will not rain upon us
And I could want nothing more
But I will not mark the time
No, I just can't start the count
We dig our graves that way, I know it
So I'll meet you when you come down
Did you really do this without thinking?
Or was there some concentration at work?
'Cause when you said, "I'm sorry," you were not blinking
You can't pretend to not know how that hurts
You can't pretend to not know now
You can't pretend to not know now
You can't pretend to not know
So much biting the hook
At both ends
So much biting the hook
And this is where it ends now
