I fell asleep
Thinking about you again
Even though it's been a couple of years
Some things never change
But you do
And so do I
You're always talking about your new life and I'm always talking abour our old one
but neither of us ever seems to listen
No, not anymore
And you don't talk that much about your feelings
And I learned that I shouldn't talk about mine
So we sit there in silence while the both of us speak and i know you're leaving early like every time we meet and I always wish you'd have a couple more hours to spare
But things don't change
And neither do I
And neither do you

Cigarette (Night I)

I walked you home when it was still dark
And everyone was asleep
We drank away every mistake to the last drop
The streetlight solitude forever caught in the glint of your eye
I felt your hand around my arm
And feared the end of the night
The cracks in the concrete remind me of your smile
Shadows danced on moonlit streets before the sun could rise
Let me be your cigarette
Breathe me in so I can slowly kill you while you're slowly killing me
I will be the smoke that surrounds you
And the ashes in your eye
I'll glow up one last time
Before you leave
Roll your eyes and say that your fine
Turn your back on the light
I never said what I meant 'til it was too late
I've been dancing with my fear
to the Sound of my indecision
But I never dared to kiss its lips
Before the night would end
The cracks in the concrete remind me of your smile
Shadows danced on moonlit streets
Before the sun could rise
Let me be your cigarette
Breathe me in so I can slowly kill you while you're slowly killing me
I will be the smoke that surrounds you
And the ashes in your eye
I'll glow up one last time
Before you leave
Let me be your cigarette so a little piece of me can always stay in the warmth of your breath
So that even if I'm gone I can be something you won't forget
Let me be your cigarette
So when I dissolve into the air around you I can say that I died for a good cause

You asked me to come over, and said I didn't have to if I didn't want to and I wonder if you actually have any interest in having me by your side or if you're just kind and I wonder if I have any interest in having you by my side as well or if I'm just fed up with being alive.
I felt love and it burned bright but everytime it did, a bigger piece of me died. I felt love and it burned bright but only inside of my body and never hot enough to make anyone else ignite.
Now how do I spark a flame where everything's already burnt and how do I say 'I love you' when it's something I've never heard?
Rejected, ignored, unloved and insecure left alone by everyone I would actually offer my world to until I stopped caring. I stopped caring if I was here or there or if I was alone or with someone else and it makes a lot of things easier not to feel but it also takes a lot of things away.
I hate myself when I'm so insecure and I can't decide whether to kiss you or not and I don't. but I also hate myself when I do. and its a long walk home with no one else around but it's better than running away from home with someone you don't actually know.
We say goodbye, I take the train and through the window I can see you walking away and each time I'm waiting for you to turn around so I can see your face and be certain that you'd rather want me to stay but I know you don't. And then you're out of sight and I'm as alone as I was when you were there.
when the heart breaks does it break forever? And does it kill any chance of feeling love again? Or will it grow back together? And if so how long does it take? And does time even heal wounds or can it just help to make the bad memories fade?
When the heart breaks does it break forever?
I always thought that no matter how much anyone took from you, you could still give something to someone else but I'm not so certain anymore.
I don't have bad dreams I just don't dream at all
I don't have bad feelings I just don't feel at all
And I swear that I don't want to die
But sometimes I don't want to be alive
