What Are We Doing Now

You pushed me away so hard and so fast
I'm still dealing with the whiplash
The emotional flashback
This new concept of us that I can't fully grasp
Was the last time I had you just love relapse? 
Are we done acknowledging our past? 
No more trying to comprehend what it lacked Am I too much now I've removed my mask?

It's too little or too much
Was I dead weight or a crutch?

Maybe too little too late?
Was I not carrying my own weight?
Did I not take you on enough dates?
Did we not give each other enough space?
We both turned to our escapes
I still remember the look on your face
That look to which I could too easily relate
You hide it now with the mask you create
Was to only learn from each other our fate?
