I hate being alone
But I hate being in love more
I'm torn apart like an old t-shirt
You wore it out and left it on the floor
I only tell you how I feel when I am drunk
I need the liquid confidence
I need some gypsy luck
To tell you I don't care any more
To tell you you're not there any more
To tell you I don't need this any more
To tell you I am done

Sick of sleeping alone
But I hate sleeping with these thoughts
I'm haunted like a house you see
You died in my heart but you won't let me leave
Can only tell you how I feel at night
Cause in the day I never cross your mind
The dark protects me
It protects me from wanting to die
Why can't I tell you I don't care any more?
Why the **** are you not there any more?
I'm tired of you pulling out my chair to watch me fall
What can I do to make you love me once more?
I gotta stop this
chill for a while and
give it a miss.

What I could do then
is pick up a new pen and
write a letter to you.

To think is the new pink which became the new black and as I look back I can see where this all went wrong and it'll not be too long before I do give it a miss and write to you a letter.

It feels so much better now
and I feel emptier.

Alleys and ashtrays, flesh and bone,
I woke up next to you and felt alone,
Still searching for everything I’ve lost,
Or some change to show for all the cost,
But I can’t make amends for all I lack,
Can’t hold my breath, can’t turn back,
As that circle meets us where we end,
And destiny breaks us where we bend,
My head was sirens, concrete and snow,
You slept beside me as I let you go.

Arguing with tick-tock talking second hands,
In a language no one speaks or understands,
Losing hold of all the things I’ve never been,
As my whole life spins from the head of a pin,
It’s a piece to a puzzle of a subtle little stain,
The last gasping breath of a bubble in my brain,
We become love letters that nobody ever sends,
Or monsters in the closets of imaginary friends,
Still you sang forgiveness in that lonely lullaby,
Hidden under covers where nobody sees you cry,
Your cozy little rabbit hole, safety in the shade,
A quilted sanctuary, buried in the bed we made.
