V4.5-ALL

I think it’s complicated, I really fucking hate it. I really thought we’d make it, but I’m glad you didn’t fake it. I call it how I see it— so do you, babe. Verse 2 I probably annoyed you with like fifty desperate messages. All I got was, “I have a lot to process.” I give you space, you take a mile, leave me standing in the silence for a while. Pre-Chorus (optional addition) You don’t want my company— fine, I’ll learn to breathe without you next to me. Chorus You don’t want my company, this ain’t tag, babe, don’t run from me. It’s not a game, I’m not a risk— I’m just a heart you couldn’t fix. Come here, baby, could you ever keep up with me? What’s your deal and why’s your distance always swallowing me? I’ve got music in my head, a vault of pain, beauty, and misery. But my misery don’t like company— so please don’t emotionally bother me. Bridge I’ll write you letters you’ll never read, ink bleeding like a nosebleed. Words growing quiet, turning into dust— I guess silence is just who we are, not who we were. Hook Reprise I think it’s complicated, I really fucking hate it. Thought we had a garden, but the flowers never made it. I call it how I see it— dead flours, babe, we couldn’t save it.
