getting through to you
wasn't as hard as getting over you
but hindsight is twenty twenty
reflected on our past
can't take certain things back
but i just needed you to hear it from me

i'm sorry
and that's it
no excuses
i hope this is what you needed to hear
you probably won't
apologize
for the things you did
but that's not why i'm here
not here for closure
or for something in return
just to make amends and put a couple demons to rest
you did me very wrong
but i don't need to let that make me
looking forward to what's coming next
always something to say
nothing productive though
can't get your way
so we're at each other's throats
couldn't say it to my face
but it's fine cause i already know
you've always hated the word hate
but you feel it in your bones
the exhaustion finally hitting
hear it in your voice
sleep if you're tired
it's okay

know you're worried for me
but you shouldn't drain yourself
to make me
feel safe
never wanna speak again
no one cares about what i say anyways
nobody will miss the input
my absence wouldn't fill a room
we are so used to making ourselves feel important
but some of us can't forget
how utterly insignificant we are
one in several billion
trauma does not make us stronger
something is keeping me up tonight
but i don't care to figure it out
it's either you or something else
and it hurts to think right now
passing burnt out streetlights
summer has me by the throat
experiences to be had
with people i don't even know
any way to just get out
of the box i find myself in
tell me don't be stranger
but can't see me as a friend
you're gonna hate me
if that's what you want to do
there's something wrong with me
because i'm not just like you
i didn't want it to be like this
but you can't have it any other way
you steal the few things i have left
you'll convince yourself that that's okay
i'm not even sure if i love you anymore
you proved you've lost none on me
so ******* childish to play these games
even more ******* i didn't need
kissing the border of your face
whispering into the space
in your neck right below your ear
reminding you that i'm right here
and i never wanna leave
all i wanna do is be
in your orbit and on your mind
every moment of your available time

and even that is not enough
hell is being without your touch
heaven between your lips
having a hold on either wrist
waiting until it's quiet to mumble
sweet nothings that all begin to jumble
but you know what i'm trying to say
wouldn't have it any other way
a quick rewrite/add on
