I'm talking fast Breathing slow Exiled from life Why you left do not know Your absence stabs like a knife Because too much time on my hands Don't go to church or the bar Stare at the wall trying to understand How I have made it this far It bugs me you are fine on your own I am only half getting burned Tell me to hit you up on your phone My messages go unreturned My tongue itches with irritation Sentences I dare not say Can't blame you for infuriation I kissed you back that day I suspected you'd never ring my cell I'm wrapped around your finger You put my heart through hell Lasting loyalty lingers Supportive of you no matter what Liberated or in chains Too deep down in this rut To evict from my brain All I know I am tired Yearning to rise above Adoration has expired Why can't my love?

Time On My Hands
I'm talking fast Breathing slow Exiled from life Why you left do not know Your absence stabs like a knife Because too much time on my hands Don't go to church or the bar Stare at the wall trying to understand How I have made it this far It bugs me you are fine on your own I am only half getting burned Tell me to hit you up on your phone My messages go unreturned My tongue itches with irritation Sentences I dare not say Can't blame you for infuriation I kissed you back that day I suspected you'd never ring my cell I'm wrapped around your finger You put my heart through hell Lasting loyalty lingers Supportive of you no matter what Liberated or in chains Too deep down in this rut To evict from my brain All I know I am tired Yearning to rise above Adoration has expired Why can't my love?
