I took you in
You took me for granted
You were the sea
And I was the breath you looted to fill your waves
Shackled to an anchor
told to stay afloat
You know I'm already dead
So why bother?
Hope is something I outgrew
Our love is something doomed
Now I'm freed , you're not here
Wait
Is this what I wanted?
A piece of me is missing
The whole me is missing
Feeling numb and pruned
The tide retreats and leaves me squiggles
A shattered maze I wanted to erase
The maze of memories I hadn't known it existed somewhere
Found myself playing tag with your ghost So suddenly when I thought I'm finally the talisman you'd fear.
The more I try to forget the more the spell that ushers you in
Swell
I'm the one who's doomed
I can't be with you
But I'm nothing without you .
