I know he left,
I know he's gone
But I'm one of those
Who can't let go

I glue myself around someone's edges,
I make that space my own
That way I'm never left behind
when they go

But people change,
Sometimes break
And foolishly I refuse
To get out of the way

So then, I fall apart,
Crash and hit the ground
Because glue isn't enough
To hold me in their hearts

Bits and pieces of me
Don't fit together anymore
They are no longer mine,
No longer whole

Turns out,
I'm one of those
Who die when they
                                   love.
