Carry The Zero lyrics

I`m not knocking your want
to carry that home

took it with you
when you moved and got it broke

found the pieces
we counted them all alone

didn`t add up
forgot to carry a zero

I can`t be your
apologist very long

I`m surprised that
you`d want to carry that on

count your blemishes
you can`t
they`re all gone

I can`t see your response
putting them back on

like they`re waiting for your guard to fall
so they can see it all and you`re so
occupied with what other persons are
occupied with
and vice versa

and you`ve become
what you thought was dumb
a fraction of the sum

yeah, you`ve become
yeah, you have become

a fraction of the sum
the middle and the front

and now it`s coming back
hasn`t it come too far?

I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard

now we can`t even touch it
afraid it`ll fall apart
