i forgot who you are
when you fell into my hands.
if god can't fix your scars
what makes you think i can?
i can't feel my legs.
i asked you to break them
so i couldn't run
when you answered the question.
in two thousand years
when my body's gone
will you remember me?
will you remember me?

i know you didn't mean it
but your act was tearing us apart.
don't act like we didn't see it
but i wish we had from the start.
i guess a diary wouldn't help
cause then you'd realize that no one would see it.
you brought this all upon yourself.
all the scars that you left will take ages to clean them.
romanticizing
the worst things that you could ever think of
but when it comes to the problems we faced
you were absent cause you couldn't save us.
show us yourself and take off the makeup.

i can't forget you
if i wanted to
cause since you left
it feels like everything is gone.
if you'd believe me
that i'm safe
we could try to do this another way.
the marks humans leave
are too often scars.
if this ends in "always"
"okay" can be ours.
but what is always anyway?
falling slowly, all at once.
i wanna pull the cord
free from these wires
in your arms again.
words you were never supposed to hear.
a dying hope, a memory.
a billion stars to see alone.
but that's okay
cause okay will be ours.

i'll say i'm out of luck
from taking what i really want.
i'm searching all around
but you are nowhere to be found.
if i move here will you be my guest?
just not right here, i was wrong again
inconvenient, but it's fine
i'll catch you, and you'll be mine.
what time can i reach you?
what time are you there?
i still wanna meet you, but how is this fair?
i wanna see how you grow
your changes are here to show.
your red eyes, your blue scales
are like an art piece on your tail.

hiding in sight but you ruined my cover
pulling me up and then pushing me under
one in the same, we're not meant for each other
you're fucking me up and i'll never recover.
all you ever wanted to say
was that i was never good enough, i'll never be the same
you never really wanted to stay
but i was the foolish one to let you get away.
it's not that i don't wish you well
you just left me so overwhelmed
would rather drown than face myself
you said i seem like someone else.
pour one more and fill my cup.
drink so much i won't wake up.
told you once, you called my bluff.
you said i wasn't brave enough.
