On nights like these, You make me fall to the floor, Dragging my body, Just to get to the door, You hover above me, I don’t know what to do, You gaze into my eyes, And I feel anew, You intrigue me, With your tender ways, I hope that finally, This is how everything stays, But here I am, Crumpled on the rug, My body unmoving, The feeling hit me like a drug, I showed you the pieces, I was afraid to show before, You opened me up, Then you locked the door, My nails worn down, From clawing at the wood, I never meant to be this way, I wish you understood, My love for you, Is a sinking hook, Lost in the ocean, And you will never look.

why can’t you stay
On nights like these, You make me fall to the floor, Dragging my body, Just to get to the door, You hover above me, I don’t know what to do, You gaze into my eyes, And I feel anew, You intrigue me, With your tender ways, I hope that finally, This is how everything stays, But here I am, Crumpled on the rug, My body unmoving, The feeling hit me like a drug, I showed you the pieces, I was afraid to show before, You opened me up, Then you locked the door, My nails worn down, From clawing at the wood, I never meant to be this way, I wish you understood, My love for you, Is a sinking hook, Lost in the ocean, And you will never look.
