I never wanted to be one of those girls
Love drunk on desperation and constellations
Captured by your twice bitten nails and my lonely expectations
Why don't you ever notice when your eyes meet mine?
I'm completely taken and I don't know why

I never wanted to stop breathing
Listen. I promise. I swear.
I'm drowning in all of this and I can't seem to catch the air
I think all of the colors are beginning to fade
Maybe you'll ask me about it someday

I never wanted you to look at me the way you do
Empty eyes with nothing behind them
Why don't you look at me the way I want you to?
Because those blind looks seal my fate and I don't like why they do

I never wanted to be one of those people who lied
But none of this is working anymore
I'm imagining your shirt crumpled on the floor
And as these words appear on my sleeve
I realize that there's no one who will really see them.
