fiftyseven

I'm sorry if this comes out too quiet

its just I could really use some water

I've been running my tongue across these words

simply tasting what alone will feel like

will you hear me when I say

this time I'm not afraid

you were a promise not meant for me

a dream I was not to remember

and I've been fooling myself

for so long

I just wanted to feel like more than I am

just needed to believe I had a reason to breathe

but you crept in and took it all

maybe I deserve this fall

but can you say that you dont?
