conflicting ideas
of who I'm supposed to be
and who I am to you.
Sleepless eyes again
I can dream without
So, I think you need to leave
You take your time to gather responsibility
and say, "you're making a
rather large mistake"
"You'd be nothing without me",
You say.
You should only be
Thinking of me
as the last good thing that you will ever know
You should only be
thinking of me
and how to make time interesting
I'm mad at myself now
I used to be better at diffusing nights like this
you never seemed to care that people need to sleep
so, without context, you're yelling at my house
it sounded like,
"you know that I love you
and know I always will.
but, you're so damn hard to read.
why can you open up to me?"
you should only be
thinking of me
and the hapless discord I could bring into your life
you should only be
thinking of me
with my hands around your throat,
You will say
Everything's alright and
nothing's ok
I finally know what you mean
and its sticking with me
I'll reply
I may not know who I am
But I know who I'm not
I know what I don't need
You need to know your place
You should only be
But, instead, you're in my way.
