You're in my dreams but you never stay, why won't you stay?

I gave you time, I gave you love, I gave you all that was mine but it was never enough.

Why is it never enough?

They say when it rains, it pours and our ceiling has one too many holes. This constant downpour is flooding in our home. The foundations cracked, we're so unstable, there's moss tangled with the wallpaper and weeds growing through floorboards. I was pushing you away and you didn't try to stay.

You'll never stay.

Like bad taste you linger and like a ghost town I am haunted and just like you well maybe I never knew what I really wanted.

My heart feels so heavy, like there's a rock in my chest and my head hangs low, it's the pain that I feel that makes me act like I'm the best.

Guess we weren't ready and I guess it might not have been your fault, but it wasn't not your fault, Can you honestly say it was all my fault? 

When I was drowning you ran away just as soon as you were safe but tell me who made you feel safe? Will my ache ever fade, will this hurt ever truly go away? 

Darling, I still love you and how could I not? You're the knife in my brain, the constant reminder of pain, but to you I'm someone you used to fuck.
