The lightning cracked down the sky
Like my heart did
The night you didn't say goodbye
Pitiful, behind him you hid.
How dumb I've been,
I'll stay here and listen to the faint beat of thunder while I try to hum,
The song we loved, this boring restraint.
Oh wait
This is heat lighting.

Why do I feel
The need
To kiss you
So violently
As if my life
Depended on it?

It's the time of year again
I can see my breath fade my friend
The way your perfume
Stirred in my bedroom
You stood next to me last year
Why am I still here
I followed you into that dark abyss
Why'd you leave me with a poison kiss

Growing up I always heard,
Over and over,
Again.
Never judge a book by it's cover.
Between you and me I always heard,
Over and over,
again.
Never leave my side.
So can you tell me why
You never you never read my
First chapter?

Cheers to those moments
When your heart drops
But the butterflies don't follow.
Cheers to those moments,
Your hand begins to quiver
But no one is near to hold it.
Cheers to those moments,
You read the last period on the text
And tell yourself,
Never,
Get your hopes up,
Again.

Maybe I should be content
Perhaps life was being kind to me
It took everyone away gradually
Instead of in a handful.

Did you ever
Think on behalf of my feelings
Next time
Think of how selfish you are
When you say
I love you.
