Coffee stained sweaters
swollen bit lips
mistakes that stayed forever
wounds that never healed
apologies told
relationships mended
now that I have you
I'm reminded by how it ended

I search for tones in your speech
quivers in your voice
hints in your texts
movements in your body
I can't forget how we failed
how we might make it this time
and why either is
just as likely as the other

Do I love you?
Or am I just used to you?
Here I am in spite of things
lost within all the debris
drowning in the deep black sea
reaching for some sanity
reaching for, the clarity...

Shackled to my own body
I cant break free...
And I tried, yeah I tried
But these days are black...
And I'm blind, Here I cry
These tears wont dry
Here I am...
Broken by the night

There I am...
cleaning up the mess I've made
drowning deep...
in a sea of whiskey
smoke fogging up the clarity
pop this pill to ease insanity

Shackled to my own body
I cant break free...
And I tried, yeah I tried
But these days are black...
And I'm blind, Here I cry
These tears wont dry
Here I am...
Broken by the night
Oh my.
I haven't been this suicidal in a long time.
Out side beauty catches the eye.
While inner beauty,
Captures the soul.
Do you ever hear me
when I breathe for you?
Do you ever notice
that my heartbeat is your n a m e?
