I watched you walk inside this crowded room, trying to drink the void in you.

You taught me a lot about confidence, a common place, and settling.
I taught you all about love instead, petty theft, and remembering.

Did your best to try and find change, nickel and dimed but pennies ain't got nothing to say.

She crashes those waves, she is dead weight.
Did you ever find change?
