F/American you get so alone at times that it just makes sense
I uncovered every stone and retraced every step trying to find where we went wrong. But in the end, I just got lost.

unfound
that first night, you danced with me and everybody looked at us like we were crazy and maybe we were but we were too dizzy with the excitement of what came next for us to even notice or care about the rest of them and now that you're gone I dance alone and I think about that night and I think about you and I think about how quickly things fell apart since the night we danced.

the dance
my sorrows follow me into bed they become like scorned lovers begging me to stay but forcing me to leave I'm left with tear-stained pillows and tortured cries and an ache that cannot be remedied

so many "you're right's" so many "I never meant to hurt you's" so many "I'm sorry's" so many ******* "I'm sorry's."

"I'll try to be better"
it's 5 o'clock in the morning and you're standing there under the streetlight in your boxers and I am so in love with you

early morning thoughts
I miss you even when I'm with you. How do you expect me to live without you?

gone
I don’t know your favorite season (grab me, please) I don’t know the things you tell yourself so you can sleep at night (kiss me hard) I don’t know your middle name (slow it down) Or your last name (quicken the pace) You’re a quick fix to a growing problem (addicted to your taste) And your body (rising intensity) Next to mine (relieve the pressure) Is all I really need to know about you. (tense and release)

(tense and release)
today i drank a bottle of the finest, oldest scotch my dad had locked in the liquor cabinet i stole the key, he doesn’t know it yet i sat in my car and put it into drive i kept my foot on the brakes because-i don’t know, i was scared i guess but i wanted to ******* feel something, you know? you could never understand that you always felt too much-all the time i never told you this, but i envy you for that i could feel the anger boiling up inside of me and i slammed on the gas pedal it was dark, past midnight and i got on the highway i swerved perilously between the lanes then crash and i didn’t feel anything at all

drive
you’re like a ******* code that i can’t seem to crack some days you’re dark and sad and lonely and your jade green eyes are clouded with pain but day after day i stare into those eyes and i can see that they sparkle with something or for someone but it's not for me and i know that, i do but i can’t help but think i can be the girl who saves you from the monsters inside your head the ones who tell you you can’t move on, you can’t love again because i know those monsters i’ve battled with them head on i’ve slit their throats and released my freedom and i promise you you will love again

monsters
i feel you in waves crashing over me beating me over the head to make me feel something, anything tearing me apart with your tears like saltwater flowing through my open wounds you beg me to feel you like i used to love you like you need me to but the numbness hits me like icy water and i am again your stranger
