I want to feel something but theres this hole in my chest
And its sucking everything in
We're all cutting ties
Every sense of security i had is gone
Safety? Ive never felt it
Love? What's that never smelled it
Feelings? I have too many im melting
On the floor once again left alone
Never once did i have a home
All these efforts put to waste
Its not okay and its not getting better
Its not going away
Another day another 24 hours gone to shit
Where did my energy go?
Where did you go?
You were holding me the other day saying it'd all be fine
Now you won't look me in motherfucking eye
I guess it was too much to ask you to be my shoulder to cry
Maybe it was time for us to say goodbye
But that doesnt put all of my feelings to rest
That doesnt make me forget about the hole in my chest
I hope you feel better about yourself
After ditching me with all this shit on my back
Guess we both have a lot of baggage
But he stole my fucking innocence and you can't stick around and hold my hand?
What kind of asshole does that?
How the fuck do you look yourself in the mirror and see a good person?
I didnt look past your 3 million freckles and curly hair
But it was there
I didnt see it but it was there
You didnt care at all and i hate myself for not noticing
I was blinded by the playlists i made and the blanket in the backseat of your car
And the time you yelled you loved me at the stoplight, when i said i would kiss every single one of your freckles
I didnt see it but it was there
I didnt feel the emptiness behind your touch
I have no guts, no flesh im hollow
Still not bright enough to see that your fingertips couldn't fill me up
Two halves don't make a whole
