lyrics

I’m hoping that you’re happier now.
It’s been a while since I’ve thought of you.
But you somehow still flow in my body.
Racing through my veins
Because you’re a part of me now.
If only I could cut myself open deep enough and drain every bit of you out.

Tonight, I’m missing you.
And I’ll allow myself this drowning for once.
And I’ll choke
On all the words I’ve let myself eat at me
From the inside
My whispers turned to screams.

I stare at the ceiling while my teeth dig in my cheek.

Always aware.
Always aware I’m alone.
Always aware.
Always aware of the ache in my bones.

Thumbing through the notes that you wrote,
All the shitty lines I’ve given and the time that I spent waiting.
In an attempt to show you how much that I care, showing how much I can fake it.
but I can’t take this.

I’ve spent these past few nights here wasted.
A habit that you hated.
It wasn’t worth it,
You didn’t deserve this so you left.
And that has left things understated.
What had happened and why you waited.
It wasn’t worth it.
You didn’t deserve this.

I’m hoping that you’re happier now.
It’s been a while since I’ve thought of you.
I still find traces of you lingering here.
In the letters that I wrote you.

Why couldn’t you stay
I swear I would’ve changed
Why couldn’t you stay
I could’ve been the one you’d save.
