best friend,
i'm talking to you
i can't seem
to hide myself from you

all these demons
they come out at dark
but you hold my hand
and you don't even know
that you do

i wake up everyday
and i hope it's still the same
i hope you're still the same

i want to know
how your day is going
have you been eating well
i want to heal your hurting
when life gets boring
and sleeping on your own
makes you feel like you're alone

i'm here

though i'm not your best friend
at least not yet
i feel like i can tell you
all the things in my head

i must be crazy
almost called you 'baby'
i'm so glad i didn't
or i'd wind up dead

your smile's my antidote
to this depression
you're my obsession
but you don't know

my fixation on perfection
and desperation
to keep everything a secret
like how i love it when you smile
like how i want to stare into your eyes
and maybe even make you mine

i have to go

they said, "next time, darling
pick your poison carefully,
whoever you love's
going to have the power
to destroy you in a heartbeat"

but then a voice
inside my head
told me to choose
the one who plays
the song inside my heart
i didn't know existed

and that night
when i first listened
to your art
i felt wanted

but i wasn't sure
if your song was for me
so i listened and listened
for several nights
secretly hoping
you felt the same

'cause romance
destroys friendships
and i don't want us
to be that way

so i told myself
that i won't write about you
not a song or poem about you
won't be tempted to make
a playlist of all the songs
that remind me of you

but here i am
letting all my thoughts
and feelings
wash down the drain
to that rabbit hole
of your brain

but here i amletting all my thoughtsand feelingswash down the drainto that rabbit holeof your brain
