Burning papers and the words I wish you'd say The smoke left piles of ash where I wish you'd stay And the words left the universe in streams of goodbyes Ravage from the core to my wrists and thighs The had beens and never minds
Crescent moons wax and wane I still can smell your scent through the window pane And you told me to never come back With all those thoughts I kept on my closet rack They come to meet me at night, when I'm all alone Just when I think I'm alright, they chill me to the bone
Now I'm out of time I hope and pray For some solace To take me somewhere you'd never find Through the day I watch the hourglass Ticking away by grains of sand Don't need no heart, don't need no man.
And we walked to the fields Instead of watching the baseball game We kiss and you copped your feels But it will never be the same
When your shy old dog let me stroke its fur And the calm winter evenings froze us whole Back in your car, before the love was hurt I could feel you intertwining with my soul
Tell me I am still all you see When you close your eyes Tell me you still love me Despite the hatred in your mind
