Do You Know How Bright You Burn?

I'm an open book with
Too many empty pages
I make monuments of memories and
My best is so belated

And I won't apologize for that
I gave you everything that I had

But what if I turned my back to you instead
Would things have been the same as when you left
What if I turned my back to you instead
What if I made you feel the way I did

I've written messages from a self made isolation
And I've bottled them with purpose
I gave the ocean task to take them to you

Wherever you may be
But I hope they don't break through
So the words you left me drowning in
Are all that's left for you

But what if I turned my back to you instead
Would things have been the same as when you left
What if I turned my back to you instead
What if I made you feel the way I did

GO

But what if I turned my back to you instead
(And you played the game that you made, my friend)
Would things have been the same as when you left
(Back your knife away from my neck)
What if I turned my back to you instead
(Look for me in their eyes, but don't find shit)
What if I made you feel the way I did
