I've heard tell, this isn't the way that things were supposed to work out. And I've asked why you search for the truth when you're packed full of lies. Don't you dare say that I'm the one to fucking blame because I'm not moving on until you realize you're the one who's wrong. Someday, I hope it's true and you miss me half as much as I miss you. Someday, I hope it's true and you miss me half as much as I miss you. One day, maybe you'll see that you should have stuck with me. That I'm worth far more than just a bitter memory.

I swear, you’re like oxygen for my veins. My blood runs thin and I always feel blue in the face. I’ll draw maps and hope they lead somewhere safe. Lost again; no direction ever cures the chase. Spent all night grinding teeth in my sleep. And now I know I have no connection to this place. Could have seen this from miles away, Nothing short of a prediction. Could have seen this from miles away, A fulfilled expectation. I’ll see you passing in front of headlights; The tallest shadows I’ve ever seen.

This can't be all. "…but now I'm only falling apart." As you wrap that thirteenth loop around my lungs, I wonder, what has my life become? Why didn't I escape while I was young? Can I still trade in these arms for a pair of wings that won't wear off? I've set coordinates for the fibbing north before I become just a pillar of salt. If only we weren't human, this wouldn't be our fault. This can't be all. Were we in coffins from the start? Laying in slumber, with half a golden heart? Is life just a list of bad dreams from which I'll never wake up?
