I cannot escape you
even when I try

You’re always there in the shadows
waiting for lyrics from The 1975 to bring you out

Like a constant ringing in my ears
replaying conversations and memories

My days used to be spent with you in my head
and smiles on my face

Now they are filled with empty thoughts
trying to cover up your reoccurring presence

And oh god do I dread the night
when there is nothing to busy myself with

And I am left helplessly vulnerable
to the feelings that suffocate me

Drowning in our last night together
loathing that I can still hear your voice say my name

There is an agonizing and gaping hole right in the middle of me
where you once were

And even though there is such a lack of you
you are still always there

I cannot escape you
