When

Fold me up and put me in your jacket
Knead me until I fit into your life
Turn me into something that I've never been
Knead me slowly until I burst and break
 
When, when, when
Do I not look back now I've gone away?
When, when, when
Am I no longer the sum of what you have done?
I'm like someone else now
But what if that never changes?
When, when, when
The song is done but I'm still asking
When?
 
Every day I wrinkled like paper
Everyone saw it yet I still stayed here
Somewhere between my teeth you slowly rotted away
Bittersweet to lose you, but it broke me
 
When, when, when
Do I not look back now I've gone away?
When, when, when
Am I no longer the sum of what you have done?
I'm like someone else now
But what if that never changes?
When, when, when
The song is done but I'm still asking
 
How do you know whether it'll be fine?
You say: "Everything happens for a reason"
But you've stolen more than I'd like to admit
What I found pretty about you where all of my pretty pieces
I blame you for more that you could ever know
You've seen the light, but your world is still dark
You've been sober for 15 months, but the love was drunk
You tell me that it'll come back, cause that's what happens every time
But the song is done but I'm still asking
When?
 
When, when, when
Do I not look back now I've gone away?
When, when, when
Am I no longer the sum of what you have done?
 
Promises made of paper keep burning where we stood
And it tore me to pieces, but I've found myself again
 
When, when, when
The song is done but I'm still asking
When?
 
Let go of me, I now see what it was
I fold it up, because I can move on
