the smell of cheap cologne and regret lingers
as my skin burns under the traces left by your fingers
he tasted like mint from the ghost of the gum he had
he tasted like a mistake, a good answer that had gone bad
we did nothing new but I feel bothered, restless, unstill
but what do I do I cant control your will
my mind made a filter, a mask for you to wear
so the potentially bad choice could be seen nowhere
but in your stead stood a mistake, a regret, then no one
cause the one to blame here is I so let me be rendered undone
and then i woke up
and you were there
and i wanted to touch you
but i wasn't here
because my mind yelled at me for taking advantage of myself
i was the who pushed him away, the one who left him in a shelf
but i'm the one who claws at him, who wants to pull him closer against my skin
in the end we're both satisfied but in the end we both didn't win.
