every time i hold you
i hold my beating heart
for you are my whole world
without you i’ll fall apart
every time i hold you
i hold my beating heart
for you are my whole world
without you i’ll fall apart
it’s not all so bad
i’m not always this sad
but you were all i had
cold December breeze
wind blows through the trees
tears run down my cheeks
you’re killing me with ease
i scream to death, i freeze
i beg, i cry, i plead
talk to me please
or leave me here to bleed
i didn’t get happy
but i got less sad
i know i won’t always
feel so bad
if flowers bloomed
inside my head
maybe i’d
forget what you said
i don’t care
if you get wet when it rains
i don’t care
because all you do is drain
and when it comes to texting
i will refrain
because you never
appreciated me anyways
and if i use my head
maybe my thick skull will get it through
that we were as good as dead
and that i need something shiny & new
i hope it’s always raining
i know it ruins your day
your attitude is draining
there’s nothing left to say
this is new for me
it’s scary to let you in
what did you do to me
you’re the yang to my yin
oh love, how you always go to waste
i’m always craving more
give me another taste
— i’m nonexistent
and i’m starving for your face
it seems it’s all i have
when i’m stuck here in this place
i just keep waiting
for the day you’ll come back home
but that day is never coming
and i’ll always be alone
why am i so fixated
on everyone else’s success
and at the same time wondering
why my life is a mess
too scared to let down these walls
just to start over again
still waiting for you to call
turns out i’m the fool in the end
if it were up to me
your hand would be in mine
but it wasn’t meant to be —
we’ll never intertwine
bow down, baby
it’s you who needs me
you thought i’d play along
but goddamn — you’re so naive
i’m waking up with your alarm
even though you’re not here anymore
you’ll always keep me awake —
and i’ll always feel hollow to my core
you never really gave me
the chance to spill my guts
instead you left me sitting here
going fucking nuts
seems like i’m always wondering
why i’m not enough
but now i’m calling you out
i’m calling you on your bluff
i’ve been going through ‘em
like a fucking catalog
you think that you’re the shit
when we both know
you’re really not
we watched the foundation
of the local movie theater
get torn apart
much like our own
and you mourned for the theater
and all of the memories
that we could never return to
but you never wept for us
when we crumbled
i won’t shrink for you
i’m sick of feeling small
— giving it my all
just to be split in two
