Those scrapes of paper
[all my words]
Saved my life
I wrote a book for you
It was all for you
I wonder if you'll ever read it

There seems to be a theme
There are no second chances
Just new perspectives
(That led us to new places)
Need to stop living looking backwards
Trying takes up most the day(s)
There is only new choices that remind us of yesterday
Just new perspectives
(That led us to new places)
Need to stop living looking backwards
Trying takes up most the day(s)
There is only new choices that remind us of yesterday
...
It all seems very pointless right now and believing is so much harder from this place, Fuck believing, I'm tearing my nails out just trying to hang on

"That smile will get you into a lot of trouble"
Those songs that always belong to certain people in our lives
Periods of time embodied in a thumping bass, strokes of the guitar, an enticing voice
Lyrics custom made to memories
Remember our song was on repeat that summer
In my mind it can only be you
And the background to those nights on the coast
As my heart stopped and thundered
The first time your bare skin touched mine
It's lost that edge of meaning after all this time
But there's still the ghost of feeling when it shuffles to my ears

Have you ever listened to somebody freely enough to let them change you
My greatest fear was realized that day
I've put a distance here for my own protection
This something in between
It's selfish and wrong by any standard
You see this external shell as something hard and unforgiving
It is
That's all I'm capable of
And everytime I look at you my beautiful baby girl
I see all my mistakes
How I let you down
The better person learns their wrongs
Does it right next time
But next time scares me because I'm not that better person
I see how strong you are
I won't pretend I understand your fight
I push you away so I don't get another chance to destroy this
All second chances are another way for me to hurt you
I've put a distance here for my own protection
This something in between
It's selfish and wrong by any standard
You see this external shell as something hard and unforgiving
It is
That's all I'm capable of
And everytime I look at you my beautiful baby girl
I see all my mistakes
How I let you down
The better person learns their wrongs
Does it right next time
But next time scares me because I'm not that better person
I see how strong you are
I won't pretend I understand your fight
I push you away so I don't get another chance to destroy this
All second chances are another way for me to hurt you
I'm a secret, again
The stillness is the worst part
When there's things inside rampaging the leftover void
It's numb in here
It's numb in here
When the quiet comes the temptation takes over
At least then I know I can feel something
