If I tell you infinite nothingness awaits us all
but that I'd still like to see you tomorrow,
and that even though everything is destined to end,
and the road to Hell is paved with people
who thought otherwise,
I never feel more at ease
than when I'm by your side

If I tell you my heart can't be thawed
but still invite you in tonight,
what I really mean is that
you are my ******* savior.
You brought me back to life
when you entered into mine

In the morning light I think of you.
Your face stares up at me in the reflection
of the black coffee I drink.
If I tell you my body misses the feeling of yours
when not beside mine,
what I mean is the energy that pours out of you
wakes me up when you enter the room.

If I tell you I am filled with sorrow
but wont tell you from which part of me it comes,
I only mean to protect you.
But I promise that sadness only leaves
when you're around.

As you can see I may be
rough around the edges.
When I tell you not to leave just yet,
what it means is that I soften at your touch.
If I tell you we were doomed from the start,
what I mean is it's actually okay if
you end up breaking my heart.
