It's going to be one of those nights again..

You know the kind where I get high again or I get drunk again because I can't sleep

The kind where coming down feels like I'm dying, like someone just dropped a ton of bricks on my chest

The kind where missing you feels like all my nerves set on fire

The kind where my jaw hurts from gritting my teeth trying to hold myself together

The kind where I can't understand why I wasn't enough for you

And I can hear the word sorry screaming in my head because all I wanted was to be enough for you.

The kind where I have to get another dime of weed because I can't stop fucking shaking

The kind where I still don't understand why I wasn't enough for you

And now I just want to scream until my throat bleeds because I should've been enough for you

Why wasn't I, what did I do so wrong that everything I could give you wasn't enough

The kind where I'm reading our messages again, all of them

Because I still have the ones where you said "hi" the very first time. All those screenshots...

The kind where I'm smiling now because of how perfect things used to be

The kind where I'm sobbing now because of how perfect things used to be

The kind where I get another drink
Then another one
And another

Until I can't remember how you taste
Or until I can't move
But there never seems to be enough

The kind where it always comes back to you
It's always you Kannan.

It's just going to be one of those nights again.
