We don't talk, no confrontation at all
Been building tension up high like a wall, so that explains, the state of things
We still touch, you making love like a crutch I feel your heart barely beating for us

Yeah that explains the state of things
How many tears can we hold until somebody blinks?

And how many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks, till it sinks
We can try to ignore it just comes back for more it won't go away, go away
So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state, state of things
We got stuck; this faded love's not enough. With no direction it's straight out of luck

Yeah that explains the state of things
How many tears can we hold until somebody blinks?

And how many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks, till it sinks?
We can try to ignore it just comes back for more it won't go away, go away
So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state, state of things
Alone in the night, though you're still by my side, nobody's wrong but I know, this ain't right
So tell me how many tears can we hold until somebody blinks?

And tell me how many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks, till it sinks
We can try to ignore it just comes back for more it won't go away, go away
So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state, in this state, state of things
