I look around and I want you to be there
I'm missing all we used to share
Feeling so empty and sad
Missing the love we had
I'm so over being sick
Get me a doctor quick
Your kiss was the medicine
My world's crashing down, again
My only choice is to over react
Feels like I'm having a panic attack
Just want to let myself relax
Heart's beating way too fast
You think you know me all to well
But you never got the chance
To find out who I really am
Too busy having a breakdown again

When you cut me please know that I do bleed
Anything just to get your attention
When I'm sitting on display and
You pass me by without a mention
Knew this wouldn't be easy
But does it have to be this hard?
A thousand miles suddenly doesn't seem so far
What you leave behind
Makes you who you are
Roll the windows down and try to feel alive
I need the silence to escape your voice's piercing sound

The dark has caught the spark
That once burned in our hearts
Just need to walk towards the light
I'm crying and you're lying about last night
You're calling and I'm falling apart
Can't find a way to tell you what's on my heart
That won't cause a scar
The fire is dying down
ThereΒ is nothing left of me to take right now just
Sit back and watch us dissolve and decay
Did you ever really love me anyway?

Let's stop concentrating on all the things we love to hate
It only causes us to separate
With dry eyes and steady hands
I try so hard to understand
Why you would rather be alone with a
Broken heart in a broken home
And I don't know how I should feel because
The lies make it seem so real
Can you feel this?
If so you can cross it off your list
I'm everything you wanted but
The mark you've always missed

We breathe in sequence
While trying to make sense
Of the situation we got ourselves in
Can't take another week of one way conversations while
Slowly losing interest
But, we are best friends
So close your eyes and kiss me like it's the last time
Need medication from all your words dripping poison
Days turn to night as I wish on stars in the sky but,
I Don't focus on the brightest because beauty is on the inside
I wish we could take all the bad things said back
Always feels like we're under attack
All these dreams being turned down
When my heart breaks did you know it makes a sound...?

I never meant to hurt you even when
Sometimes the thoughts have a way of making sense
But secrets kept turn into accidents
If you burn away the bonds of selfishness
The positive, the negative
Surely we could make amends
End this now we've come too far
Just take back the words that left us with scars
Taking the easy way out showing self doubt
The only thing that eases the pain now
Is to drink until you drown
Am I not everything you wanted me to be?
Tried my best and guess I lost
So listen for once and I'll spell it out
I need you, I need to hear your voice
I'm Juliet and you're the poison
Slowly sinking in
My means to an immaculate end
