I tried to cut you out
But my skin can only take so much
My lip is still burnt but I'm feeling fine
I can't seem to get you off my mind
I think about you all the time
I swear I've heard this ******* rhyme.
My gut is heavy, my skin is melting
My body's shaking it can't be healthy
My head and stomach keep on fluttering
And here I thought that you meant
nothing.
Burnt my lip on a cigarette while I was thinking of you
I hate to say it but I think I wanted it too
My gut hurts and twists and feels so ******* distraught
All because you loved me and left me without second thought.
I know you're not mine and I'm not yours either
I know she's better and without habit and a believer
But it still ***** to know you won't reply
Because I lost you and you got what you wanted, all in one night.
I want you like a sick obsession
I watch you with eyes like knives
I want to skin you with my tongue
How do you want me?

We all fall in love
In love with faces and places
We all fall for something different but one thing the same
We can't help ourselves with words
Every tiny syllable like rain, we drown in a typhoon
No one can escape the rapids of language
Words are desperately sought after, and so overused
But we cling to what we fall for so deeply
And that is the words we whisper
Announce
Sing
Read
And utter to each other
He has a crooked smile
And the brow of an old soul.
He used to cut and smoke a lot
In his grace it's taken it's toll.
But he doesn't have to cry no more
He's found his weight in gold,
She knows his past and holds his heart
Her love now makes him whole.
The only thing keeping us apart, is a moon and a million miles
