why is it so late
why am I still awake
why can't I stop my thoughts
dead in their tracks
and tuck them in to bed
like you used to do with me
maybe I would sleep better
if your voice wasn't in my head
-------
I can't even remember

what you smell like
                                            (lie)
what you sound like
                                            (lie)
what you taste like
                                            (lie)
what you feel like
                                      (biggest lie)
-------
I shouldn't keep doing this
wanting you
craving you
needing you
It is unhealthy for the both of us
and I am sorry
so
*******
sorry
-------
yeah yeah,
heard it all before
forgive and forget
just like we always did
funny how we never really got better
-------
we
will never get better
I will
and you will
but we,
we will not.
there is no we, no us
only me
only you.
