And whomever you may be
That read my words
Whether in a pretty love story
Or the salt licked sympathies
Scattered over hills of rolling sins
Where space and time collide
Within the great blue tides
And sunspotted eves
I hope that whatever it is you take away
Gets metaphorically tattoo’d
All over your skin
For you and I to know
Even if, but for just a fragile moment

Feeling so misunderstood
Both too proud to admit
They’re feelin’ so low
Pretending to be okay
Not wanting the other to know they’re binge drinking just to pass the days

And she’s still day drinking
Claiming, she don’t know
Nothin’ bout that boy
She doesn’t need his lovin’ back anymore
What she needs is peace
Begging to feel like she did before
All she knows is she doesn’t love him
Anymore

And he’s still sleeping
Not wanting to open his eyes
Claiming, he don’t know
Nothin’ bout that girl
He doesn’t need her lovin’ back anymore
What he needs is peace
Asking to feel like he did before
All he knows is he doesn’t love her
Anymore
