You lose your place,
But you mark your page,
So you can pick up
Where you left off,
Even if you're late.
You keep a grip on your heart,
Cause I don't have one in your eyes,
Or at least not tonight,
And it's not fair to point fingers,
But it's not hard to see,
I know we both wish we could blame..
You.
Tainted
Acquaintance,
You don't feel that bad,
And I'm okay with that,
But don't you follow suit,
When I fall apart,
'Cause I can't hold you up
When I break your heart.
You sink real deep,
And that hurts me too,
My silver spoon just can't follow through,
Oh, please, just listen, baby, won't you?
But you never do.
You taste like rain,
And I feel like morning dew,
And I hate that pain,
But I hate sleeping alone more than you do.
Tainted
Acquaintance,
You don't feel that bad,
And I'm okay with that,
But don't you follow suit,
When I fall apart,
'Cause I can't hold you up
When I break your heart.
(You were the crack in my shell,
You were my heroin idol,
You played my own Mary Watson,
You wore my hands, stuck in idle,
You were the blood on the canvas,
You were the closest of calls,
You were my reason for breathing,
And now I'm feeling withdrawal,
You are the ghost in my sedan,
You are the spirit, the bottle,
You are my substance addiction,
You were my perfectly harbored
Manifestation of prison,
Painted our blood into blue,
You were the fight I pursued,
You are the fight I resume.)
Still, I'm,
Staring at your face,
Behind my phone in shame,
Wondering if I should call and
Finally just talk about my day,
Still, I've,
Lost your middle name in memory,
It hurts until it burns until it heals,
And I can't find a better way to deal,
So I will smoke and drink 'til I can't feel.
