"When you love somebody and bite your tongue all you get is a mouthful of blood." It's better I stay bleeding. Lips sealed swallowing stuff from the heart, it would be a shame if I opened my mouth and stained the carpet. Leaving spots on the floor
where I slept outside your door. "When you love somebody it's hard to think about anything but to breathe."
I was lost in those ocean eyes
You left me hypoxic and petrified
You don't know how hard I tried
To ignore the ache in my chest
Dying to let out this breath
My heart about to burst
I figured if give it to you instead.
No pulse, put your ear to my chest
I gave you the love that was left
Now I'm heartless and I don't want it back. I accept the uncertainty,
Give me a call...or a text, I should be going, it's a long drive back. "I am the cub who was washed out in the flood" I'm sorry about the carpet. I hear lemon juice gets out blood.
