‘Your voice like the sound of sirens,
to a house on fire. Your saving me.’
❞If it makes you less sad
I’ll move out of the state
You can keep to yourself
I’ll keep out of your way.
And if it makes you less sad
I’ll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint
I will paint myself out.
It’s as cold as a tomb
And it’s dark in your room
When I sneak to your bed
To pour salt in your wounds.
So call it quits
Or get a grip
Say you wanted a solution
You just wanted to be missed.
I heard that you’re settled down,
That you found a girl and you’re married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it,
I had hoped you’d see my face,
And that you’d be reminded that for me it isn’t over,
Never mind, I’ll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you two,
Don’t forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
“Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,”
In case you haven’t heard I’m sick and tired of trying,
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall. ❞
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that’s why they call it window pane ❞
