I've never felt so genuinely sad
It's almost beautiful

You say "I'm an open book",
But you're as closed as your eyes.
Trapped inside your sleepless slumber,
It came to me as no surprise.

"You have that medicine I need.
Shoot it up, straight through the heart please."

He flashed his million dollar smile, and took my soul away with ease
Licking the surface of my cold skin, as it trembled with deficiency

He left a trail of love bruises down my neck and chest
"Please don't hurt me," I dared to suggest

His bruises were his way of saying "Mine."
I closed my wet eyes, and counted slowly to nine

He never understood me after all
All I wanted was to be wanted
Not by him, but by them all

We'll

To the moon,
to the stars;
I'll fall

everywhere
in between.

But will
I fall for
you?
