I just thought you & I were on the same page
Turns out you were a few chapters back
& every time my thoughts drift to you
I'm reminded of everything I lack

My lips move but I can't quite
Say the words
You're a ghost
You're a ghost
Now how long will it be
Until you stop haunting me?

I'm just too sensitive for this world
My skin and bones are fragile
To the touch
My heart isn't even made out of paper
Its made out of dust
That I've painstakingly collected over
All these years
From broken promises and
Shattered dreams and
Old distorted memories

Should I just rush in
Or wade in the low tide
I stay hesitant since
It's too hard to decide

All the fun happens
When you're in too deep
But so does all of the danger
Sometimes I wish we were still strangers

With every trial and error
I'm getting closer to you
Every time my heart breaks
I mend it back just for you

My life is crumbling fast
Quick grab the super glue!
Duck tape will no longer do

My life is tumbling fast
Are you going to desert me?
Please don't hurt me

My heart is not an instrument
You can just play
You can’t write songs on my lips  
And beg me to stay if tomorrow
You’ll just walk away
