It's fading, I can feel it You no longer get me high It's fading, god, it's fading You're not the light of my life. I knew it when I hugged you And you felt so damnably human I knew it, I told myself to stop But I never listen, I wouldn't, couldn't. I've been scared of this since I saw you I knew from the get-go you weren't like the rest I've been scared of this since I saw you And I'm fighting becoming unobsessed. I knew I felt nothing particularly healthy I knew I idolized you without reason But reason enough was gut instinct I can't just leave it behind, can't move on. This is my personality's greatest flaw I grip and hold and latch to anything And when my fingers are to numb too hold on I cry and scream and write farewells in poetry. Goodbye sweet obsession Soon you'll simply be a friend Goodbye sweet obsession While you lasted, you were godsend.

Unobsessed
It's fading, I can feel it You no longer get me high It's fading, god, it's fading You're not the light of my life. I knew it when I hugged you And you felt so damnably human I knew it, I told myself to stop But I never listen, I wouldn't, couldn't. I've been scared of this since I saw you I knew from the get-go you weren't like the rest I've been scared of this since I saw you And I'm fighting becoming unobsessed. I knew I felt nothing particularly healthy I knew I idolized you without reason But reason enough was gut instinct I can't just leave it behind, can't move on. This is my personality's greatest flaw I grip and hold and latch to anything And when my fingers are to numb too hold on I cry and scream and write farewells in poetry. Goodbye sweet obsession Soon you'll simply be a friend Goodbye sweet obsession While you lasted, you were godsend.
I don't think I'll be in the mood to write for awhile.
