How Very Like You

Here at the peak
Of being in my head
Where risking failure
Is safer than risking success
I hate how I'd rather
Die for you
Than live with you
I don't know why I'm always afraid

So I'll write songs
You'll never hear
Pretend that I can move on
As I'm picking at the scab
And scarring over
Every part of me
That I'll tattoo
And tell myself it's pretty

How long
How long can I say I love you
And still mean it
When I know that you feel
Nothing at all
When I know that you feel
Nothing at all
When I know you don't feel it

Down at the bottom
Faking everything
Giving desire and ease
When I can't feel them myself
I can't
I can't love them like I love you
Can't love them like I do you

So I'll write songs
You'll never hear
Pretend that I can move on
As I'm picking at the scab
And scarring over
Every part of me
That I'll tattoo
And tell myself it's pretty

How long
How long can I say I love you
And still mean it
When I know that you feel
Nothing at all
When I know that you feel
Nothing at all

When I know that you feel
Like it's harder to breathe
Like it's so much harder to breathe

"how very like you, you are"
You say from the floor
Of this memory that doesn't exist
But I was someplace else
Unable to accept this reality
Maybe that was point

How long
How long can I say I love you
And still mean it
When I know you don't feel it
How long
How long can I say I love you
And still mean it
When I know that you feel
Nothing at all
When I know that you feel
Nothing at all
When I know you don't feel it
