Sitting on this hardwood floor with my back against your bedroom door
I still feel you in my bones and smell you on my clothes
You're still inside my head finding ways to break the quiet
Repeating words that you said
I'd give anything for silence
I still shake and shiver under duress
I still find myself shaking
Still hoping that you'll miss me 'cause you're still here in my dreams
And everyday now seems endless
Your sides not as warm as it used to be
'Cause this room is growing colder yet familiar to me
Those flaws you once loved are still part of who I am
But you couldn't love them anymore
You just couldn't pretend
You chose the lie of someone else's attention
No you just couldn't pretend
No one will love me half as much as I love them
I still leave the light on your side of the bed
Your pillows still indented from the last time that it held your head
I still leave the light on.

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
