I used to cherish our time together
Walked on air when you were around
But nowadays when we are together
My feet are cemented to the ground

It's only been two months so far
And all I've seen us do is sink
Further below the surface of success
Problems never dissolve or shrink

Ocean of self-centered focus
Drives our spirits apart
I often put myself first before you
In order to protect my heart

Love lost like a set of car keys
Has left me wounded and cold
Trapped in self-isolation
Too frozen to comfortably hold

I suppose I wanted to feel normal again
Have scars magically disappear
I fooled myself into believing the impossible
Cause I forget they existed when you were near

The sharp and jagged edges
That make up the outline of my shape
Will cut you open eventually
Or at the very least leave a scrape

We are slowly breaking down
Disintegrating piece by piece
It's only a matter of time until
Our fond emotions entirely cease

One day I will be a memory
And you'll hardly remember my face
I promise you my presence
Won't be difficult to replace

When we first met you weren't attracted
It just wasn't meant to be
Not sure why you fell so hard
When it's clear you don't see much in me
