you're in love with a boy
who is a prayer on your lips
with no god to go to.
he's bleeding sunlight and
you're trying to patch up
the holes in his heart
with trembling fingers
and the blood keeps
spilling.
you're in love with him,
here's the best part:
he loves you more
than his own life.
he's golden as they come
but he's bleeding out.
one day, someone will
strike a match on him
and he'll explode.
so, here's the worst part:
he loves you so much
more than his own life.
