So close to perfection
And sometimes I feel it.
I see what you could be.
See what I could want you to be.

Maybe it's better that you're not that way.
Maybe
I'm insane.

I don't want to be
Another body's kryptonite
I've watched that story
Played that game

Maybe I'm just out
Looking to get hurt
Like I have hurt
Looking to be cheated
Like I had cheat

Go ahead
I'm not afraid
Of looking like a fool

I want to forget
Forget about feelings
Forget about love
Forget about caring
Attachment is suffering

Pain sing me to sleep
Let me hear that bittersweet lullaby
Let it run through me.
Let it sweep me off of my feet
And take me away
From here

The most beautiful thing I could ask for
A simple continuous string of blood
Sing me your lullaby
Bring me your comfort, friend
You are the one that I control
You are the one that always shows

I'm sorry you can't anchor me
Cut the rope,
Cut you down
I cannot hold on to you
Have to let your go
You have to let me go

I have stepped away
and now
I am turning my head
To look forward
To let go of the past

I must move on
And I cannot
With you pulling me back


I'm sorry.

Your ghost
In everyone's words
In stories
In the drugs you commit to
In your songs
In our songs
Your pain
In your eyes
In people's eyes
In your walls
In your words

It's a slippery slide
Everyday
Any mention of you
And I'm on my way
Down
Down
Down
Any mention of you
And I can see in his eyes,
On his way
Down
Down
Down

How much fruit do you want in your basket?
Take a gamble little girl
If you put them all in
They'll all be spilled over
If you put none in the basket
Your heart will suffer

So how much you want to gamble, sweetie?
How much you want to bet you'll lose
Put your money in babe, we're all high rollin
Time to put on your dancin shoes

I wish I could help you
Fix you
I wish I hadn't done what I did to you
Maybe I should have just shut you out
from the very beginning
Run at the very first
Warning sign
But I didn't
I was a fool
I didn't know what I was getting into
Something more than friends
Something more than excitement
Even more than disloyalty
I brushed on the surface of love
And sent ripples through the water
That eventually turned into waves,
Roughs,
Tsunamis.
And they crashed on you,
Drown you.
I am at fault
For all of this.
But all I can do is repeat words like the waves.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
