They told me you had a past, and I guess I should have listened.
But who was I to deny the way you cried when your laughter was genuine?
And I think I fell in love with you when you played your violin
But the music you played no longer resonates in me.
You told me about your past, because I was the first one that would listen.
And I saw pain in your eyes that I wanted to steal and inflict upon the man that broke you.
But you told me you were not broken, and I apologized in my head.
Not because you were right, but because I could not fix you.
And for a short time I lived in the confessions you made while we drove through dirt roads
But now I reside in the first time you told me you were addicted to me
And I wonder how easy it was for you to quit cold turkey
Because it's almost impossible for me to quit you.
I told you that I'm empty and you told me you didn't think you'd ever be happy
And it felt like a shot to the heart because that's all I ever wanted to do for you.
And now I'm not quite convinced there is a cure for what's ailing us.
Other than every moment you spent in my arms,
the smell of your hair,
and each other.
