These days... Are you sitting alone in the quiet and cold or surrounded by friends with your colors and smoke Are you thinking of me as you fall back to sleep Or grinningly praising the silence and peace Is your love still the same Are you glad that I'm gone Do you miss me at all Are you happy alone? Yeah These days... I knew that I cared more **** probably too much but now I can't eat or find joy in the comfort of knowing you're finally happy - you're free But did it really take you not talking to me? God, just tell me straight Did you want me to stay? Please... know I'm around Are we better this way ...these days You're still my everything Yeah, that'll never change But I need commitment and love not these tears you're proud of You say you're a man; are you happy again? Well, **** I still see you and Zuri, I still miss my lover, but I need security the way you need me not to hover. I want peace and partnership You want casual relationships We both can't win and we're fighting again These days... I get it now I really do see Insouciance doesn't make you worse than me and being so invested doesn't make me right. We want different things - is this worth the fight? And one day I hope you will want to be mine But you need some space and I need some time to forget your ambivalent shove toward shame and the way that it hurt you to call out my name. But I am still here Your pain is still mine and though I know love tends to fade over time I swear that mine won't One day you will see One day you'll remember And it will still be ...these days.
