lyrics

The way you pressed your arm against my wrist,
"don't leave me bare, I need you here
like the home that I've never found,
that keeps pulling towards the ground."

I always tried to find a way
to love you like I hate myself, I'm cursed.
It's been you that I've never deserved.

The way that you stared at me
when you realised I took drugs,
I always thought I had the answer,
when your mouth keeps shut.
You were afraid that these pills could ruin a man
but have you ever thought that this could be the reason to take them?

But this love has made you blind,
I killed myself for to find and I promise
I will always blame myself for not being there
but I still feel so unwanted when I was all you ever wanted.
And the ground looks much more welcoming
from all the rooftops I've been discovering.
So here am I convinced that I will never change,
full of shame I packed my bags but I stayed
and kept staring at them for weeks,
while biting names into my cheeks.
I thought I only knew you through a camera,
snowing days, a cold november
but I could swear it's december
like I could swear that it is you.

The only thing I never wanted to hurt, but couldn't avoid.
Like the only thing I ever cared about has always been you
like it has never been you.

Well I could fade with the room.
Like a growing favor that once bloomed
and an ache that tries to fit
somewhere between your lips but not anymore.

I found comfort in sailing around the room.
