I see you when I close my eyes I see you when they're open And I'm trying not to accept the fact that I won't see you again in person Everything's lucid I wish I didn't know it But you ignore me when I wish that you wouldn't Life drags on Though you were only a means to an end But that end hasn't ended and the means was in my head I understand what cold turkey looks like I just wish I didn't have to live it I wasn't worried when we were together But now you ignore me and I'm hurting 3 am smells of you now Of cigarettes and natty ice Of the strength of your body and the weakness of mine It's time to go Back out into the cold The cold that you wake up to when you go off to work I know that you're a dream The idea of you that I have But in reality I had you For hours in my grasp And I let you slip Because I let you have me And I'm torn up from the turmoil That you don't care enough to see
