I thought I was on the right track
Turned away from that dark road
Hadn't looked back since
Yet
I never fully left
All I did
Was drift away for a while

I was fooling myself
"I'm on the up and up
I'm happy
I don't want to pop those pills
Everything's fine"
Lies
All of them

I tried to escape
Go to a couple places
Make a couple friends
Post that crap on Instagram
Make it look like I'm
Fine

Lies lies lies
I finally realize my lies
I can't stand to look in the mirror
Even more than usual
My face disgusts me
As I see not myself
But a loser

I don't want to talk
Eat
Write
Play
Listen
I want to sleep
Because it's as close to death
As I'm
Willing

She's a beautiful
Lustful
That temptress calls me closer
Every
Single
Night
And sometimes
I want to call her embrace
But I'm too much a coward
To walk into her arms

She invaded my sacred space
Somewhere I thought I was
Free
A place with memories
That bridge
With my name written on it
The bottom of that river
Blank
Waiting for my signature

I can't swim well
Not while
I'm being held up
By the one
That won't
Let me go

I didn't know it
We were just friends
Nothing more
Not lovers
Not significant others
But she
Was the one to save a sinner

Her golden hair
Draped down her face
Like rays of sunshine
Her hand
Grasping mine
Not letting me go
Holding on until the end of time
A forever

She loves me
And I her
She's the only reason
Why I can wake up
And love something
Everything

She's as bright as any star you'll find
That dark sky behind her
But when the morning comes
Her light does not fade

She is
My sunshine
And I
Am proud to call myself hers

I get it
You think you're not enough
Think I'm too good for you
That you don't deserve me

Well honey
I'm yours
And I'm here to stay

No one can take me away from you
I don't care if they
Are the most beautiful
The richest
The most famous
Perfect
Because those are all lies

Those titles don't belong to them
They're all yours
(Maybe not richest
neither of us are ***)

But
I like to call myself the richest
Because baby
You're priceless
And you're mine

So next time you doubt yourself
Just remember
I love you
And I'm yours
