My chances are dropping
Like flies
I can only lie to save the pain
Just to cause more
When the truth comes out
I didn't have the heart to tell you
About the no strings lust
But you found out anyways
Because some boys kiss and tell
I won't be the one
To tear this family apart
If that's what will happen
Then I'll go back to wandering alone
Because I only wanted a home
I didn't mean to drag destruction
Behind me
I left my sanity at the door
But none of my problems
You have every chance left
You've never hurt me
Not once
But I constantly cause you pain
With destroying myself
And other lovely things like that
Ignore the bowl in my hand
And focus instead on the words
In my head
The ones I need to say to you
If only I had the courage
But I just smile weakly
And look away
I'm better at kissing then talking
I'll speak like Helene Keller
Watch my hips
And study my lips
As I'm under you
Trying to pull more passion
From distracted actions
My mind races with ways to explain
No I can't do this
Exclusive
What a beautiful trap I'm in
Who's to cut me down
Because I can't breath anymore
How much can happen
In only two months
I laugh because I know how fast
Things spiral out of control
Yet out of control
Doesn't always mean bad
Could I control the way you loved me
Could I control the words you said
Could I control that feeling
Spreading in my chest
I'm terrified
I don't want to get attached
Not now
I'll only be abandoned
Accidentally or not so accidentally
I don't want to sound
The way I do in my head
But I clung to your hand
As you walked away
And asked you to stay with me
I told you
I'll wait forever
As long as you remember my name
After you leave behind
This run down hell hole
I don't think I could forget
Those whispered words
In the backseat of his car
No matter how many nightmares
Try to steal it away
So beautiful
And I only laughed
Not willing to debate this again
How someone as dangerous
How dark
How fucked up
Could never be beautiful
A lot changed in two months
I loved myself
Then I could only love you
If that's what this aching is
It's where my heart should be
But I can't remember who has it now
They stole it with no regards
But I'll love you
With this bleeding chest cavity
And I'll keep all my promises
From now
To when we say we've forgotten
The face of the other
Despite the pictures we have
And the memories
Tied around our feet
I don't know if they pull me down
Or keep my soaring
I could care less
As long as you're there behind me
Hold me close
And watch me fall for you
We'll crash together
