It’s like you’re in my bloodstream And my body is trying to detox But it can’t get you out Sometimes I have nightmares About the things you would say How you made me feel And other times I think about When I would say stop and you wouldn’t And I would hold back the tears I can’t remember why But I didn’t think you were wrong I thought it was my fault Because my warped self esteem Somehow taught me That I deserved it all And now I’m an anxious mess Even though you’re gone You’re still here

Gone, But Not Forgotten
It’s like you’re in my bloodstream And my body is trying to detox But it can’t get you out Sometimes I have nightmares About the things you would say How you made me feel And other times I think about When I would say stop and you wouldn’t And I would hold back the tears I can’t remember why But I didn’t think you were wrong I thought it was my fault Because my warped self esteem Somehow taught me That I deserved it all And now I’m an anxious mess Even though you’re gone You’re still here
