I'll always treasure the naivety

Of the past we've shared


Our bodies grew much faster than our minds


But together we got good at stopping time




My teen angst drove me to hurt myself


And I made u watch

Oh the pain I must have caused


But by staying around u saved my life (saved my life)




We were never meant to be lovers


Just fellow late bloomers


Who blossomed the part (2x)




Watching my parents


made me look for something destructive

And there u were


With all the characteristics of my mom


Familiarity of home




The geographic gap let to forced adulthood


And your rage exposed

I'm glad we left things when we did


I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan


We were never meant to be lovers

We just mirrored each other's self destructiveness (self destructiveness)





The spotlight burned in the room when we were together

And we played our parts


And I wore an imaginary tv screen


So u never got to touch my heart




We were never meant to be lovers


Our egos fed of each other

And died overweight 2x





I thought I'd seen it all when u first walked in

But u shut me up


And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself

And u haven't ever stopped
