I lay my head down On the pillows of our past Your indentation hasn't yet shifted And I can still smell your essence A twisted mix of shampoo and cheap cigarettes Inhale. It's almost like you're still with me Blackened vision The ghost of your arm wraps around me Tighter than you ever had Let me go. You let me go. Exhale. The months fade like carbon paper etchings Over time, I can't tell what you used to say But I swear your voice Still echoes down the hall This isn't normal And I'm proud now That's half the problem Inhale. You breathe in daisies now. Like I don't know how she smells. Coconut and sunshine Run off with your summer dream While I'm stomping through Snow angels Hot boxing igloos, the way we used to And you pretend to forget Those nights we died between the stars Exhale. Pulse racing. Suddenly I expose myself Rip down the walls Allow the hurt to spew into my vulnerability Only a fool would miss you This much Well, color me brainless As I breathe you in once more Darling, I've been abandoned For the thousandth time And you'd think by now I'd keep away But that's the thing about Fools in love, We never learn. We always think the ones we adore Are worth the hurt. They're not, They're not. But still, I'll be waiting at your back door. Knocking twice with a kick. Our signal from 1997. The street lights will gleam in our eyes. As we try for the last time. Exhale. Just stay.

I Won't Lose Sleep Over It..
I lay my head down On the pillows of our past Your indentation hasn't yet shifted And I can still smell your essence A twisted mix of shampoo and cheap cigarettes Inhale. It's almost like you're still with me Blackened vision The ghost of your arm wraps around me Tighter than you ever had Let me go. You let me go. Exhale. The months fade like carbon paper etchings Over time, I can't tell what you used to say But I swear your voice Still echoes down the hall This isn't normal And I'm proud now That's half the problem Inhale. You breathe in daisies now. Like I don't know how she smells. Coconut and sunshine Run off with your summer dream While I'm stomping through Snow angels Hot boxing igloos, the way we used to And you pretend to forget Those nights we died between the stars Exhale. Pulse racing. Suddenly I expose myself Rip down the walls Allow the hurt to spew into my vulnerability Only a fool would miss you This much Well, color me brainless As I breathe you in once more Darling, I've been abandoned For the thousandth time And you'd think by now I'd keep away But that's the thing about Fools in love, We never learn. We always think the ones we adore Are worth the hurt. They're not, They're not. But still, I'll be waiting at your back door. Knocking twice with a kick. Our signal from 1997. The street lights will gleam in our eyes. As we try for the last time. Exhale. Just stay.
