i held your hands,
mine couldn't stop shaking.
careless but careful,
of the life they were taking.
drunk, missed appointments,
trips to my apartment,
opened my door,
i felt your disappointment.
i can't count all the times,
that i've wanted to stay.
almost just as much,
as I've wanted to go.

blurry nights,
broken with your face,
seducing words,
i wouldn't say.
be my angel,
say my name.
make me happy,
in our days.
so much to learn,
so say i'm sane,
i wouldn't have it any other way.

farewell to death,
the breaking of hearts.
so long to tension,
replacing our start.
goodbye to fear,
the hole it creates,
trembling in sorrow,
the words we can't say.

shots for every scar i caused,
and everything you ever loved,
was every thing i never saw.

six packs a night,
i missed your flight,
i lost myself amidst the time.

a torrid day, i took your face,
it pressed to mine without a say,
wishing i would be okay.

i drank, i left, i drank some more,
i found a soul i soon adored.
too late in love, i wasn't sure.

i'm wasted, sorry,
i loved you too,
the sun was all you ever were,
my voice a silent moon.

stayed up all night,
your love in that light,
there's gnats in my life,
kind of sweet,
knowing, well, what's just right.

limiting,
fidgeting,
beginning,
in capturing,
your soul so captivating.

leave a light on,
following like moths,
in a suffocating summer night.

i love all our smiles,
when we think the same thing.
keeping tradition,
and staying the same.
leaving our loved ones,
to feel a bit sane.
you're the flower in bloom,
and my soul is the rain.

scared of my hands,
cause i know what they'll do:
they can strangle my soul,
or they can hold on to you.
