and then suddenly i couldn't survive without you
i needed you like i needed air to breathe

you were my oxygen
but i was your monoxide

you tell people we were together a month,
two weeks,
a day,
it was only a fling,
but my mind tells me,
we were together long before
and long after,
because i loved you from the moment i met you
and even after the moment you left

the thing is, brown eyes are just brown eyes
that is until you love somebody, with brown eyes

i used to think brown an ugly colour
i often associated it with things like dirt, or rotting wood
in the end, i declared brown my least favourite colour

then i met you

when i looked into them, i no longer considered brown ugly
i began to associate the colour with beautiful things
like cups of coffee, sweet chocolate and forests
i saw my life in shades of brown with you

i think what im trying to say is that
your eyes are beautiful
and brown is now one of my favourite colours

we were both liars
she pretended she cared
i pretended i didnt
the only difference is, that only one of us got hurt

have you ever missed someone so much that complete strangers can start to look like them
i could be anywhere
it could be anyone
but i never stop seeing you

they say it won't matter in a month, a year, maybe ten
but what happens if it does
what happens if a year later my heart still aches at the sound of your name
then what

you don't deserve me
in fact, you never did

i spent my whole life believing that you were too good for me
if only i had realised sooner
it was me
that was always too good for you
