I have risen above the worst
not to spite you,
but despite you.

I still talk to you
even when you're not around

do you need someone
or do you need me?

Once upon a time
your name was the first thing that
i'd think of
when i needed to smile
it'll dutifully bring color to my cheeks

Now, your name is still the
first thing that i'd think of
but only when i needed to sober up
it'll chase the joy away without fail

What frightens me the most
is that what if this is a modern fairytale
no more "happy endings"
no "wind in our sails".

You said you're dead inside
but you make me feel alive.

You said you can no longer feel
but what if i feel for you?

You made me feel alive
in a time where i felt dead inside.

We were a perfect match
maybe that's why we burnt out.

We were a perfect match,
But sadly matches burn.
