to the moon and back, that's what you said.
you promised you'd go way past the stars,
but i guess they're all dead.
and now you're gone and i'm still bleeding.
but my veins are bled dry.
you're just like the rest of them, you know?
another dark scar on my thigh.
so leave me, like you said you
never would.
even though you don't need me
can't you see i can't
breathe without you
like my lungs actually should?
i can't eat,
i can't sleep,
and i'm tired of trying
don't tell me you're sorry, darling
because that's not stopping me from dying.
i'll never trust again,
because no one ever wants
to stay.
look what you've done now
are you proud yet
look at me
i'm turning all gray.
so go on, leave me, like you said you
never would.
find that girl who'll make you happy
like i never could.
i bet she's better than i am.
i bet she doesn't always cry.
i bet she doesn't have scars like i do
i bet she'll actually try.
