Tell me,
have you ever
fallen in love with someone
only to find you fell in love with yourself?

I have a sleeping giant in my heart
Did you know?
It slumbers in its chains

some people come along
just to teach you what home feels like
to show you that home is possible

I’ve learned so much since you’ve arrived
And it’s all about being calm
and listening to my heart

Don’t let someone be your drug
                                                            ­     high!
                                                       so
                                                
Don’t let someone          up
                      take you
that when they leave the room
                        you go
                                         down
                                                   so
                                                          low
­Learn to love yourself and be happy alone
Cos living for your next hit
is always reckless
Whether your drug is named Vicodin or Nathan

When they said that love is pain
they didn’t expect me
to quite literally be bleeding

You couldn’t have known your words would be poison
that I’d be allergic
taking so many the wrong way
letting them stick in my throat
I couldn’t find water to wash them down
Each of us with the best intentions
  
but we’re free now
