Scent
I fell asleep at 6 a.m. and woke to find
that my bed smells like someone new-
I don't know where you are tonight
His lips kissed me like they were
looking for a light switch in the dark-
I don't know if you think of me at late hours
I pushed him back slightly and he asked
if everything was okay and I said yes-
I don't tell him where my thoughts are
Tired, I'm tired, that's my excuse for
losing myself when I'm with a stranger-
I don't always know how to find my way back
I'm trying, see I am, really but
there's a reason I kept coming to you so easily-
I don't know how to find familiar in someone new
The scent of my attempts to move on is
making me sick and I can't do much about it-
I don't know how to get you here again
I stayed up until 6 a.m. with him when really
you're the only one worth losing sleep over-
I don't know if that means you're winning
I don't know where you are tonight-
I don't know if I want to know
