I never wanted to end up in a world where the only thing I ever really believed in was you.
But I guess things turn out the way they do regardless of how noble our intentions are.
And now you're with some girl who's name I can't bother to remember. And I don't know
What I've found, but I keep labeling it as love. All I know is he's not you. And his hands
Don't bruise my lungs the way yours did. And am I a ******* ******* if I miss it?
All I know is that his cigarettes don't taste like yours and his cologne is from a
Different box and I haven't heard his stories a thousand times. He hasn't
Hugged me in the snow or cried to me on the bathroom floor about
How large my heart was and how tiny his eyes were. All I know
Is that he's here and you're not and I'm not too sure how I
Feel about that. All I know is that I'm only this honest
When the sun is gone and I can't hide between
The cracks in my bones. The truth is I don't
Want you to be happy with her because
I'm too selfish for my own good. And
The truth is she won't love you
Nearly half as much as I could
And the truth is my virginity
Belonged to you but I let
Him steal it anyway
Because the truth
Is that you didn't
Deserve me
In the first
Place.
