Avoidant

There's a crack in the ice that’s forming
Came up quick and without a warning
Leading from you back towards me
Caused by fears and anxieties

There's a shift in the winds worth noting
How could I have been so slow seeing
That here the ice was getting thinner
Here I should've been more careful

And I feel so disappointed
But I’m too damn conflict avoidant
I can't say what needs to be said
To wrest these words free from my head

And I'm turned around and twisted
At the thought that I could've missed it
Anxiety will reign over the day again
I will rue it to my end

There's a crack in the ice that's forming
Came up swift and without warning
A gulf dividing between you and I
A sign of a sharp decline

There's a choice to be made that's waiting
And the desire we felt now waning
You’re stood on the surface fading
How could I reach you now
Tell me how do I mend the rift

And I feel so disappointed
But I’m too damn conflict avoidant
I can't say what needs to be said
To wrest these words free from my head

And I’m turned around and twisted
At the thought that I could've missed it
Anxiety will reign over the day again
I will rue it to my end

There's a crack in the ice that's threatening
But your voice is small but beckoning
I must take these footsteps gentle
As not to break down all that we’ve built

No more silences where there should be vibrance
No more wondering where the light is
I reach my hand across the gap
I reach it out but you can't reach me back

And I feel so disappointed
But I'm too damn conflict avoidant
I can't say what needs to be said
To wrest these words free from my head

And I'm turned around and twisted
At the thought that I could've missed it
Anxiety will reign over the day again
I will rue it to my end
