we always hold on to the things we've said, and the words we think we said.
lyrics
take this back, you’re not alone. long nights spent watching my phone just to know that you’re alright. i’ve been watching my phone all night. and i looked into your eyes and realized i was incomplete without you looking back into mine. and i looked into your eyes and realized they were deep oceans, and though i tried to swim across my arms proved not toned enough to break the current and i drowned in this feeling of emptiness. i don’t know why i still pray. it always fucking rains. our fingers once were so tightly embraced… since then, it seems i’ve been replaced. can i believe our love was true when you said the same things to me? take me back, i don’t want to be alone.
some things just don’t work out; that’s the truth I have to somehow see. I’ll get over this and i’ll relearn to breathe. but don’t ever say that I asked you to leave.
