American I just want to watch the world sing.
Today's cold is the kind of Cold That settles into your bones. It's not so cold that it hurts, But it sits in you Like sadness And the grey of the sky.

Cold
They say you have found L O V E When you find someone to C O M P L E T E you When that someone F I L L S in the C R A C K S left by those before them This person is your O T H E R half, as if you aren't W H O L E But what happens when two whole people fall in love?

They say love
I have this Feeling It isn't Bad It isn't Good It just is This place doesn't feel like home This is not my space My space has become Within you I have taken up Residency In your heart And I don't plan on leaving

Residency
There are things you don't think to do for yourself Like pick up your towels Or close the bottle of pain killers Like take time away Or reset after a lot of stress But I want to be the one to do those things for you But I almost feel like I don't know how.

To want and not know
I have been told I have a devious Smirk That it gives away My ill intentions My smirk is nothing more Than the Thoughts I have When you have no idea what I'm thinking

Smirk
Tonight you spoke of our future. How it would be you with dice and me reading. Two fat Tabby cats and some chickens. And my heart was so full.... You joked about us being old spinsters But honestly, I couldn't think of anything I have ever wanted more. I almost burst

Our future?
Sitting eyes closed, and you put makeup on the marks you left on my skin. Slightly funny how we have to cover up our affections.

Tonight you left for work And said "I love you dear" And in that moment, I knew, This was all I ever wanted

As you left
I tried to lie and say I didn't want you How you'd never be interested in someone like me That girls like me never get girls like you Oh love I tried so hard to lie To me To you To anyone who asked.... But my lies failed me And they failed hard Because you are the key to the cage The whisper on the breeze The whiskey on my lips Everyone sees And everyone knows That I tried to lie my way out of loving you And you tore my lie apart.

Lies
Should I tell you how the only place that feels like home is when I'm with you? Or how this bed no longer lets me sleep unless you're in it? How I feel out of place in this home, like I don't belong here without you
