Blank Slate Heart

I know the trouble wasn't worth it to you
I wasn't perfect to you, just a burden to you
But it's a little too late
To wanna know if I'm okay

And could you not pretend to stomach the thought
Of letting me begin to think maybe you had a heart
And I know I'm not your blood
But I tried to make it up
Like I waited outside in the driveway
But I guess you forgot

It never mattered to me, before now
How you could just abandon me somehow
I stopped imagining
What maybe could've been
You took a lot of peaceful sleep from me
And left me here to dream my broken dreams
At least you left me with
A blank slate heart where you could have been

And did you even hold me a single time
Before you went back to your life?

I'm lucky people left impressions on my empty heart
I had to watch them lose a piece really that hurt a lot
He waited to depart
But he just left a different mark

Now we just
Stumble through the dark like we ever had eyes
And pray we stay alive until the music dies
Keeping everything inside
Push and pull run and hide
We settle in our routine like the tide

It never mattered to me before now
How you could just abandon me somehow
I stopped imagining
What maybe could've been
You took a lot of restful sleep from me
And left me here to dream my broken dreams
At least you left me with
A blank slate heart where you'll never live

Despite all my confusion somehow I survived
My blanks are slowly filling in displacing the lies
At least the lack of knowing what I'm missing inside
Means I can't imagine what it feels like to sever the ties

It never mattered to me, why start now?
How you could just abandon me somehow
I wonder endlessly
What maybe could've been
You took a lot of restful sleep from me
And left me here to dream my broken dreams
At least you left me with
A blank slate heart where you could've been

And does it ever not sting now that I
See everything I missed for my whole life?
What maybe could've been?
You took a lot of restful sleep from me
And left me here to dream my broken dreams
At least you left me with
A blank slate heart where you'll never live
