you first drew me in with your liberating laughter
and i fell for you too soon after
it began lightheartedly
and did not stop growing until you kept a small part of me
and i never thought we'd end up this way when we first met,
but at best, we're a sick excuse for Romeo and Juliet
we've been severed by state lines and lovers
i just want us to recover
take me back to the nights where we'd talk for hours
because now your company turns me into a coward
in the back of my mind, i know it's all my fault
i'm the reason your heart's locked in a vault,
waiting to be swept away by love,
but it's yours that i am not worthy of
