I risked it all just to watch it burn. I thought this house of cards would never fall down, you were the breeze to knock us both off our feet.
My stomach hurts and I feel sick, it's probably just this empty feeling I seem to get, when I'm up at 5am. This summer air just got to my house, the king of hearts is blowing out of bounce. My body feels numb, this pit feeling in my stomach is starting to grow old. I've had too much doubt on my mind. It seems unfair to think this was even, I was clueless to see I was the one left in the past. Hang me up to dry when the storm hits, I’ll find a reason to keep you till this is all fixed. Your breath smells like cherries and I’m sick to my stomach wishing we were alright. I still see the same girl from the other night. Your face cuts deep and leaves marks in my veins, maybe I cared too much. Maybe I don’t try hard enough. I still find pieces of you in the books I read. Your face fills the empty pages, I'm left with a bittersweet feeling. I want to find a new home. I find myself leaving my problems behind. Looks like I was the one you left behind.
