you were my drug
but now it's over
i can't have love
cause now I'm sober.

You were as stoic as a monument
Your pictures shined like sunflowers
I was held motionless in my spot
Lips pursed like a question mark
Your hair swept over like a wave
I couldn’t help but feel that a storm was coming

My fingertips  are like matches
Everything I  touch
Catches on fire
If you need a arsonist  
I'm available for hire

My mouth is like a gun
Every word I speak
Is like a   stray bullet
Hitting a innocent bystander

I feel like running off
Changing my name
Moving to a different state
I feel trapped I have to escape

I feel like I'm the problem
Maybe if I leave
I won't be the scapegoat
For every little problem

I'm beyond tired of feeling this way
I feel so misunderstood
I feel so alone
I don't want to be the
Problem Child no more

The snow fell through your headlights
On those infinite nights -
The glow of your stereo
As we watched the stars collide.

You made your way in
As you tugged at my skin,
Your breath on my neck;
I unraveled with a sin.

You made it over with ease
The fence that scraped my knees,
But when your lighter filled the darkness
You let your mind run free.

I could finally see you through
Your smoke that filled the room.
I could taste it on your tongue,
But the flavor left so soon.

Then I was left with walls,
One way streets and empty halls,
Searching for signs of life
To find nothing at all.

Now those endless nights are over
Because you can't love me sober,
And your lighter won't change
That are beds are getting colder.

butterflies and flowers
champagne and dessert
my first and my ex
got nothing on you
