I might be the only one who trusts you with my head
And you’re terrible, but you’re getting there.
You just want to see some skin, and I’m scared
Because the guidelines are hard to see when the light is dim.
We both need this to be brave
I don’t want to give in to you.
I can’t let you have this one.

You are forcing me to be
Something I don’t want to be.
Someone strong,
Someone who lifts your heavy weights off of my back.
You say I keep missing cues
And I’m falling far away from you
And sinking much too fast for my own good.
Don’t say you love this.
Unless you really do.
It’s the way you break it down for me
Like I am not aware
Of the faults you choose to highlight
And the way you drop your eyes when I speak
We are breaking the ground
But you don’t seem concerned
The noise is starting to get to me
And you assure that it’s the way it’s always been
Don’t say you love this.
Unless you really do.
Cause otherwise
You’re just wasting my time.

We lay silent on my bed
I confessed my love again
You stared blankly into space
Trying to find the words that made sense
You said God was dead and gone
And you are finding your way home
That you just need to be alone
To hope that everything works itself out
You stayed awake
Til’ early morning
Laying next to me
As I was sound asleep
I figured we’d have much more time
I’d show you photos all shot wide
Of old tattoos and foggy streets
And people who know much more than me.
But you said God was dead and gone
And you are finding your way home.
That you just need to be alone.
You stayed awake
Til’ early morning
Laying next to me
As I was sound asleep
Then you closed your eyes
For twenty seconds
Just to kill the noise
And remind yourself why
I remember how you looked when you told me you were scared.

For a moment I am gone
Like it’s always been that way
And I am forced to lie down on my back
But not too fast or I might crash
Then everything aligns
But I can’t quite catch the words
That you said before we left our home
To see your broken brother at the hospital.
I need you
To keep me in your life
To make the same mistakes
And keep the things we took
From Eat Well Mart
On Broad Street
When we were fourteen
It’s all I’ll ever need
How could you have fallen so far
From me and everyone and everything thing you love
You say you’ve got better things to do.
But I know you don’t and I know you well enough to know (the truth)
You won’t see this through
The right lens.
I am over you
And your dumb idea to steal this car
And drive away
Like we’re 16 again
And I know you said to do this for you
But right now I just want to go home.
