Billie.
She loves him like war,
He loves her like spite,
They tear into each other just to make it feel right.
I watch from the sides,
With my heart in my throat
Hoping she'll notice the boy who still chokes.
She's laughing through bruises,
He's kissing her lies,
They're perfect in ruin
And I'm just nearby.
If I could be poison,
If I could be flame,
Maybe she'd burn when she whispers my name.
But I'm soft, and I'm quiet,
She'll never choose me
Still I'll love her in silence
Where no one can see
