Hey, slow it down. What have I done? I've messed up yet again. There might have been a time When I would give myself away Those nights when I would leave you right before you fell asleep And come back to see you wake up But then, I wasn't really seeing, now was I? My eyes were replaced with different lenses That I scratched and clawed at but could not break. Yeah, it's plain to see That baby you're beautiful And there's nothing wrong with you Those lenses have long since fallen Lubricated by melancholic tears Lulled by the waves of irony that I still tried to hold onto Because you were there That one cay by this shipwreck of a human It's me I'm a freak But thanks for lovin' me 'Cause you're doing it perfectly I can't wrap my head around why you've stayed. But you did. You're still here. And I'm honestly so indebted to you Because you somehow see something worthwhile in this petty excuse of a person. And-- God. You're absolutely perfect.
