how can you say you like me,
when you never take the chance to get to know me.

we've been talking for ten months,
I bet you can't even tell me what my favourite colour is.
(yours is black.)

do you know that there is an entire world inside my head,
do you understand that I am barely conscious of reality?
I'm lost inside of this daydream, and I have been for quite some time.
why haven't you knocked? did you even look at the key I handed you?

I'm trying to explain to you that the world is spinning
that the flowers are growing an inch a minute,
and youre laying back on your bed, eyes closed,
laughing saying that the world is stable or you'd be spinning,
said that it's winter, flowers aren't even growing,
(the vines are strangling me. I'm screaming for help. but it's alright, it's alright. close your eyes and hide behind your cigarette smoke.)

you took out a cigarette and opened the window
because you knew that I don't like the smell of the smoke,
you placed a blanket over my shivering body
and I thought you were the sweetest thing,
I thought I was lucky,

but I wouldn't be struggling to breathe,
my bones wouldn't be shaking with the wind,
if it wasn't for you.

I may be lost in my own world,
but it seems so are you.
the only difference is I've tried to give you the key,
and you only seem to lock me out in the cold.
