don't get me wrong//it's nice to be wanted
and you are so. much. prettier. than. most.
but i'm onlyhalflistening, l ov e
my chest is chain》ed》 to 》a 》ghost

my mind knows-so-much-better
         {i'm so lucky to have you}
your hands know how to hold me
         {your lips know all the songs}
but i when i'm looking in your {brown}eyes;
it's only g.r.e.e.n.         that i see

and i-swear-if-i-knew-how-to-fight-it
i'd go ****** //i'd go black and blue
if o n l y.   I  could sh^a^ke^ her
{if i could un _ . think all the words}
i'd give all i have just to savor

i long to taste anything
....that i didn't com》pare to her lips
my God howhermouthhaunts
{i can't think ₩ithout her voice^in^my^head}
i'm helpless and unworthy-of-all-your-wants

you. are. so. lovely.
in so {allofthe} many ways
i have enjoyed our mo^ment^s
{i have hoped these feelings would
....leave me}
how i have kept you;... on. the. fence.

and now; it'sonlyfair to s/ev//er
despite how good; i-should-let-you-go
it's a  @selfish@ way of living
{letting you love me so}
When i'm Not ReaLLy Giving

in these moments you'll hate me
{onceyouknowallofthetruth}
think of me in spiteful ways
you'll want to _ keep _ trying
you'll be con\vinc\ed it can be °changed

beaUtiful one: YoU de _ serve MORe
theressomethingaboutthegirl i can't name
maybe I'm just addicted-to-wanting
Or may》be i'm not ready to be save---d
