3rd degree burns
pierce my chest
every time your name plagues my phone
I'd rather sell my tongue
than talk to you again
chemicals wash my throat and
needles fill my mouth
when I flash you a smile
or have to tell you
one more time
to be good to yourself

I can tell you where we use to hide candy in the summer
Pick flowers in the spring
Throw snowballs in the winter
And rake leaves in the fall
I can tell you where you first hugged me
And I can tell you where we both fell apart
But put each other back together again
I can tell you when I knew I wanted to be with you forever
I can tell you, I can show you
But will you listen?
Will you come?

I like how things have changed
as we learn what to do
with our hands

You've helped me grow up
You stood quietly in the background of my life
Silently fixing all my problems before I even knew they were there
I have always been
and will always be
a daddy's girl

If my freckles are stars
that make up my galaxy
Then are my eyes
supernovas
black holes
that have pulled you into my universe
and decided not to let you go

I want
to put a card in the spokes of my bike
and ride
until the sound drives me crazier
