i'm needy, i'm restless
don't know where my head is
got bruises and whiplash
every move's got a backlash
i can't tell you, i'm thinking
i'm constantly sinking
on the edge, see your face
but things just aren't the same

it was a cold september night
you didn't even say goodbye
i shined a light against the pavement
just so i could see
i never thought it'd end like that
sometimes goodbye is just so strange
so i'm laying here
remembering
and counting all the days

do you even know what it's like
you can't even stand to be near me
i've got a chest full of empty air
a mess of bones flows with your blood
your breath runs through my veins
you could dismantle me with just one touch
if you could take a minute to hold me
you could pull me apart
i'll let you in
if your breath hits my mouth
it feels like i can't move
i'm pressed under your thumb

take a walk with me
you can hold my hand if you want to
we can stand side by side
lay my head on you
find a spot to watch the waves crash
find a spot to hold you close
you can run away if you want to
i won't chase you down
dream you're still right here
take a little to think it through
take a breath and sigh and smile
this is the first time in a long time
i'm not sad anymore
so hold on dear
i'll love you more
camp in a blanket
out by the shore

i promised you i'd never let you fall from my grasp
the moment your fingers slipped from mine
i should've turned back time
this heaviness in my chest
that burns when you turn your cheek
when you turn away from me
now i can't sleep anymore
i still see your face in my dreams
a shadow painted behind these sunken eyelids
i see you all the time
i see you everywhere i go

Took a moment to walk back and forth to forget your breath on mine
I told myself don't get attached
But I couldn't withstand the time
Round and round my head you go
Each time just hurts the worst
I fell for you
What's a kid to do
When the world feels so unkind

I was manic
I was caught up in a daze
You were all that I had left
But you were counting down the days
I swore I saw the corner of your lips
Curl up into a smirk
When I told you I couldn't love again
I'd loved so much
It hurt
I should've known the day we met
You'd feast on all my pain
The sadness I had come to know
Left a pattern on my brain
The games you'd play
The lies you'd say
But the way you'd hold me...
Until the day I walked away
I'd never let you do the same
