It used to feel so good

To have your fingers in my hair.

To feel like everything's gonna be alright

When you massaged my scalp.

Cause I knew that despite everything

That my mind told me,

You were my safe place.

You were my soft bed

That I could always return to.

You were my peace and quiet

And, I felt the most comfortable in your arms.

I felt home and happy,

Like the world could shatter around me,

But not one shard would touch me.

Cause I was in your arms.

Cause you were holding me.

Cause you could make everything better.

Cause you were mine,

And I was yours.

Cause this, us, it was forever.

You always told me how good it felt

When I held your face in my hands.

My cold hands that would always make you jump.

You made me understand

Just how much my smile meant to you.

You got through to me

When I chose to shut everyone out

By telling me just how much I meant to you.

And, you saved me from myself

Only about a million times

By simply reminding me that you loved me.

It used to feel so good, so peaceful.

We used to feel so good together.

But, you ruined that.

You ruined us.

And you destroyed me.

Cause my world has shattered again

But, your arms aren't around me.

No, their buried six feet under

Along with my heart.
