The first time i let you go,
I let your leaf fall from my tree
I let your soul seep from my veins
I let your heart break me

I whispered your name in my sleep because you were the only one that I ever dreamed of, but I let you go.
I saw you around town and maybe I followed your ghost around, but I let you go.
I thought of you, but never admitted it because I let you go.

And when we started talking again I still tore the wallpaper from the walls of my wrists, but i was happy.
I led you around town and we read old post cards at the antique store and every romantic note reminded me of you.
The next day i met you at the ice rink because you always had an ear and a cold heart for my pain.
And you said 'I love you' and I said 'I love you too', Your breath was mine, the smoke in my throat erased.

I wanted you too dive into my veins
I wanted you to slay my demons
I wanted you to travel my railroad spine
I wanted you to be my ship's lighthouse
I wanted you to loved me the way I loved you
