We were two lovers
With the same self-destruction
And then all aspirations stowed
Hence it is colder
The drama ends a debate
It is so exhausting when no one hears you scream
What's the matter with me?
What's the matter with you?
So wishful when you reached the top and fell
Oh can I be the one to carry the weight of your silence?
This re-negotiation will unfold
Stuck here in second place
Hating myself to be loved by you
So let's go at it backwards
If you change, I'll be gone
So let's forget about it
And just wash the damage away
I'd rather be nothing than be just like you
I'll stay out of harm's way
Healing time a friend
I shed, am validated
You have torn me down
