Linger

You was always trying to make us into something we could never be
So you may as well erase me
Best kept memories, worthless apologies
Inseparable

Now you won't even acknowledge me
You were all I had, you were all I had
We would run between the lines
And I would chase you every single time

Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?
Stole all the water colours from our dreams
Told me our future was all just make-believe
Ripped me open for my friends to see

Destroyed my world and made me bleed
Lost the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen
You took my heart and painted it black
Looking on the bright side is something I lack

You were all I had

I lie in my room pulling out my own hair
It gives me something to do
But doesn't get me anywhere
Not even time can repair the space that you left in my chest
You linger in the air

Fuck the facts
You knew all along we'd never last
You were all I had, you were all I had

We would run between the lines
And I would chase you every single time
Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?
Stole all the water colours from our dreams

I lie in my room pulling out my own hair
It gives me something to do
But doesn't get me anywhere
Not even time can repair the space that you left in my chest
You linger in the air

I used to think you was beautiful
But now you're just bland and I'm so cynical
Your colours faded away unlike my feeling for you
