We're here again, stuck in the same place
With flames in my eyes, tears streaking through your face
I can see the tension you carry, the way your shoulders sag
All I did was raise your red flags
I can't be your hero, can't love you the way you want me to
So why won't you go, why not leave too?
Why won't you fight? You deserve someone better
Don't weigh yourself down with me, I'm a monster
Believe what you believe, but I can't be, I can't be better.
Catch me, catch me, but we're both falling
To my hands, don't you cling
I'm black and blue, you're shining golden
Blood runs black, wounds gaping open
This is an illusion, I'm not your forever
Lying through our teeth, don't you remember?
My voice in your head, a song, a warning
This is a trap, now we better start running.
I knew I loved you then, but I didn't tell
You've only fallen and I wasn't well
Cold, cold days with arms wrapped mine
Flowers were wilting, and you're looking for a sign
I want to be better, you want me to be yours
I keep screaming, screaming 'till my voice is hoarse
But you didn't know, didn't know 'cause you were deaf and blinded
I was paralyzed, trying to be found, you're lost, we're both stranded
I was rage, you were kindness, we made a home out of lies
Second chances, third ones, a promise that flies
A pair of wings growing while one withers away
I will never deserve you, I didn't ask for you to stay.
I've learned to love darkness as if it is light
Learned not to chase what eluded my sight
So before you try and make me feel okay
Be reminded that I prefer the stillness of night than the buzzing of day
I've learned to enjoy the battles, the wounds, the scars
The monster, the demons, the way they are
We clash, we fight for this body, this mind
But their company, I can never leave behind.
My pieces are scattered all over the place
Lost my mask, lost my face
Yet my heart remembers how it beats for you
The past, the future we drew
The corners are filled with your ghost
I kept what I only hoped to lost.
Did you know that your words are an elixir? If not before, please know now.
Did you know that these words fill my heart with warmth? 'Cause it do. Thank you, really. I'm happy to hear that you feel that way.

i don't know how i can describe you
you're like my guardian angel who suddenly flew
leaving me overwhelmed by your greatness
since then, looking for you became my quest
you became my anchor to the real world
in the midst of coals, you became my gold
i hold on to you with everything i have
i lay at your feet all that i love
you made me happy like i thought i'd never be
in my own tiny prison, you set me free
right then, i thought something might last
but as i turn around, you became my past
as i sat there, feeling numb
i ask myself, how i can be so dumb?
that i have never realized, you were there only for a season
that you only came to teach me a painful lesson.

You loved me.
I didn't.
I love you.
You don't.
We keep on missing each other. Can we meet somewhere in the middle someday?
I remember lying in the snow
With the winter lights giving you an ethereal glow
Our hands intertwined, my heart beating fast
The night sky shined only for us
Oh, how I wish we've stayed there
When there are no worlds yet for us to bear
You were mine and I was yours
Now, we're cold shoulders and slamming doors.
