Winged eyeliner
Hometown heart
You have a type
These pretty girls
They don’t know
What I know
I hope you know
I don’t want you in my bed
My life would be easier
and you’d be better off dead
We were locked out of your house
In the middle of winter
Only kept warmth with your touch
We were so eager
Life locked the door
Told us to wait
We were never patient
We became very unkind
And now all we do is boast
About things we don’t even want
I spend days
Building solid walls
Full of concrete
Sturdy by repetition
This is not my first structure
I’ve built around you
But here you come
Seven words softly spoken
Crashing down every barrier
I’ve ever built
How do you manage
To sneak in every time
Like you belong here?
You do not pay rent
You do not pay attention
And all I ever do is pay
Ghosts are my friends
They keep me warm at night
They keep you in sight
Not for love or comfort
They haunt those who hurt
I’ll keep on breathing
I hope they take your breath away
Ghosts know better than I do
Nothing evil can stay
I kept you decent
I kept it clean
You left me stranded
You’re not what I need
Princess of the weekend
Drink to forget your name
My body became ghostly
I’ll never feel the same
You were out with her
I spent my nights in cities
You were always a step back
I found other boys to call me pretty
Equal out the full bed
Never made sense in my head
I remember all those things you said
All just beautiful lies you lead
You’re right babe
I’m better off dead
Do you understand
The last time someone yelled in my face
About not wanting to live anymore
Do you understand
That I didn’t get to see them that Christmas?
Or ever again?
Do you understand
That things you say can hurt
And really cut deep
Do you understand
That I am alive and breathing fast?
There are others around you?
Do you understand
If you keep up this selfish act
All you’ll have is yourself
Not beating
Not breathing
You’re winning
I’m dying
That’s always how it goes
one step forward
three steps back
i was always one
for changing paths
never explain yourself
always contain yourself
while you end up alone
i will build up my throne
i’ll never be sorry again
what you can’t do
i can
I’m not one to forgive
You know that best
Went through most of the girls in our high school
Now you’re aiming to finish up the rest
Go ahead pretend you’re over me
But I’m the best there will ever be
You always wanted to be free
Don’t worry, from me you’ll never taste, hear or
See
Again
