You're the smell of blood running through my veins
Slowly clotting my lungs after we kiss
You're the cry for help coming from my guts
When I feel you getting closer
You're the terrifying sound of the words stuck in my throat
A lingering goodbye I never get to say to you
You're the hate I desperately crave to feel
Towards you... towards us
But you're also the sweet taste of the love you pretended to feel
And that I deeply knew could never exist

You're the smell of blood running through my veins
Slowly clotting my lungs after we kiss
You're the cry for help coming from my guts
When I feel you getting closer
You're the terrifying sound of the words stuck in my throat
A lingering goodbye I never get to say to you
You're the hate I desperately crave to feel
Towards you... towards us
But you're also the sweet taste of the love you pretended to feel
And that I deeply knew could never exist
