Just because you spoke my name in a new way does not mean that it is yours
You held my hand and broke my heart with similar intentions

Yet here you are in my mind and on my lips even though
I'm pretty sure I let go of you months ago

I've held the ribs of new souls and we did things I learned to do with you
But I can't seem to smudge away your finger traced lines encircling my body
I remind myself of the things I said I would never do
And giving into you was recently added

Yet here you are on my mind and in my bed
How you escaped my traps of getting rid of you I'll never know
All I ever wanted was to memorize your heart beat and have that tune beside me for as long as I could still hear

Sometimes I cant remember what it sounds like and those are days I breath new air
But it's nights like right now
Where all I can hear is my own heart
And it sounds an awful lot like yours
