Baby, today I planned to break your heart
To crush your chances at happiness
To silence your feelings and punish you for existing

Hush, I don't need to hear your reasons
I don't even want to listen to my heart
Let it cry in peace
After all, only I can hear it

Vivid violet reminds me of your scent
Rotten orange peels
Heavy morning feels
I blocked you this morning to seal the deal

Sugar cubes in my cereal soup
Redbull in my morning coffee
I replayed the situation in my head
Endless loop

Caterpillar carcass
Never will it experience flight
Insults really hurt, even if you're sarcastic
You learned that the hard way
Dark shisha on your favorite pants
I was right to leave

Oily hair and dark circles
Meaningless scratch off lottery tickets
"Not a winner"
Who are you trying to impress?

I can't be found now
Please try another time after the dial
Drop the faćade, it's out of style
I won't be available for awhile
You're just another one added to "what if's" pile
The taste in my mouth is acrid so I'll say this with a smile

Live whatever bit of life, the nicotine left you with

Live whatever bit of life, the nicotine left you with
