I heard once that they would rather hear about memories than enemies
Rather hear what was or will be than what is
Rather hear how you got it over how much it cost you
Rather hear about finding yourself and how you lost you
Rather you make this an open letter, about family and struggle and it taking forever
About hearts that you’ve broken and ties that you’ve severed
No doubt in my mind, that’ll make them feel better
I think part of my hopes you’ll keep me exactly where I am.
Because even if it’s pain, at least it’s something.

wired and I’m tired
think I’ll sleep in my clothes on the floor
maybe this mattress will spin on its axis
and find me on yours
don’t say a word
just come over and lie here with me
cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I’m scared you’ll forget about me
The things out of your pretty little mouth are oh so sincere. But you know it’s still not the things that I want to hear.
When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I’m with your ghost again
It’s a shame about the weather
But I know soon we’ll be together
And I can’t wait till then
Take me back to where I was before I was born. It’s like sweet and dreamless sleep. It sounds like heaven to me.

When she smiles…
Well, it’s got nothing to do with me.
I’m not the one who sings her to sleep.
And I’ve been talking to God asking for just a little help with you,
But it’s hopeless.
It’s not the first time, but this one really carved it in.
Tell your new friends that they don’t no one knows you like I do.
It’s over. I wanna see you again. I wanna feel it again.
