Anymore Im driving home from work we’re fine You’ve erased every piece of my mind Sober yes but that means it’s worse And I always wrote you’d come first running out of words to say To try To make this seem ok But dear I’m pretty sure you’ve heard That two wrongs cannot write the worst You know I don’t miss you, anymore You know i don’t need you, like before. You said the roads are clearer on the other side You shut the lights off when the states divide And I’ll fall asleep without you Cus I’m better off without you, tonight. stitching wounds with tears in eye You’re blacking out to make sense of mine Left holes in walls I was there to aid The tragedy we became You know I don’t miss you, anymore You know i don’t need you, like before. You said the roads are clearer on the other side You shut the lights off when the states divide And I’ll fall asleep without you Cus I’m better off without you You know I don’t miss you, anymore You know i don’t need you, like before. You said the roads are clearer on the other side You shut the lights off when the states divide And I’ll fall asleep without you Cus I’m better off without you And I’m driving home alone For the first time packed my shit this is goodbye I’ve heard the better part comes after worse And I always wrote you’d come first- fuck you I come first. You know I don’t miss you, anymore You know i don’t need you, anymore. You said since the roads are clearer on the other side You shut the lights off when the states divide And I’ll fall asleep withot you Cus I’m better off without you, You know I don’t miss you, anymore You know i don’t need you, anymore. You said since the roads are clearer on the other side You shut the lights off when the states divide And I’ll fall asleep withot you Cus I’m better off without you, tonight.

Kiss me with your eyes closed In that yellow sundress We let the car radio Decide our actions, I believed in myself back then. Kiss me with the windows down We lost ourselves in a privileged town Tho it used to be the reason, I returned to myself back then. I'm wondering now, If you’re telling her how I was your Marilyn Monroe Til you had to let this go I was the center of your show Til You had to let this go You changed And I lost control Of the car on that road Never meant to switch up the ropes But you had to let me go So I let you go. Love Were we, suicidal We were every kid's idol I got lost in that space Where I should have just stayed The same as who I was as that child Perhaps It could have been us walking that aisle I pray that next to her you’ve regained that smile. Kiss me with your eyes closed Seems decades away from the kids we’d know— Tho You used to be the reason I returned to myself back then But I gotta move on cus when I was your Marilyn Monroe Til you had to let this go I was the center of your show Til You had to let this go You changed And I lost control Of the car on that road never meant to switch up the ropes But you had to let me go So I let you go I let you go I let you go.

Shut the gate Close the door We’re all a little older now I’m sure And Mom said don’t go drinking that alcohol The voids will sink into the walls Of your bloodstream babe I’m addicted to you You’re all I need and it kills me that we won’t speak like this after two am So pour me a shot I’ll live again. Shut the gate Close the door We’re all a little older now I’m sure And kiss my cheek before it goes I’ll miss you, friend but by the AM dear God only knows, won’t you listen To me for a fucking second I crave your heartbeat like a nicotine addiction, Cocaine, the friction, the long nights the rifts in The pavement I am drinking The truth always sinks in At this time. Won’t you fucking listen Youre the ghosts, you’re the voids My souls been trying to fill since that night. But I was never taught to fill holes, babe. So I told my friend Katherine The one, conclusion I had to the scripture of you and I Was the fact that our hearts could never fully understand each other Fully, fully I mean would we Go back if we had the chance to love again I don’t think love is the answer But the question But it was never my choice to lose you dear friend Sometimes I get high and think of us again but even then I’ll drink myself to sleep Fast asleep I’ll lock you into the brain cells of my memory You see the demons inside my being like to consume me the key is my trauma and my awkward bruise my bones Most nights I find myself there Alone And my friends say it isn’t myself I should blame Most days I claim the rights to victim rather than survivor I tried I lost You got her By your side And I mean that’s fine But I still think of us sometimes I try to not think of us sometimes You see I tried to trace the maps back to when I was your everything And one last thing I wish it never cut me open Just to let the trauma bleed again my friend Like the unstitched wallpaper to my ending Which pulsates and foams madly at my mouth It hurts my head In desolate sentences And the loneliness is the one void That aches The fucking same I wish I could erase your name it’s stuck In the cells of my brain And I said Katherine That’s so fucking stupid To write that I was yours once Maybe that was true Or could have been too I’m sorry I’m not even sure which Tense to use Cus Most nights Most nights Most nights I still think of you And you’re free to go now You’re free to leave I’m alright alone but I’m not ok here I left pieces of you dear Inside the pictures we always swore we’d finish We never finished I left you in that same picture We painted in March of the first year I left you in that same picture Cus I know you’re happy with her Oh. You’re free to go now You’re free to leave I’m alright alone now I’m free to be now Said shut the gate Lock the door We’re all a little older now I’m sure.
