I Wouldn't Care, I Wouldn't Mind

I let you in

I let you soak your way

Under my skin

I love when you love it

Living in the sin

But you kill me

Just a little more

Each time

It never hurt like this before

It felt better

It felt good

I had to learn

To undo

You

On my skin

Like a tattoo

 

I'm sleeping away

This heart break

Because I can't stand it

When I'm awake

And I'm always awake

I'm always aware

I feel you

Everywhere

All over me

I feel and see

What no one can

I feel your hand

On me

I feel your skin

Burning mine

 

I tried 

So hard to keep this pain

From washing over me

I cried

So many nights

So many damn nights

I cried over you

Praying

Waiting

Wondering when

You'd save me

From you

I waited for so long

I waited for a ghost

A shadow

That would never come home

A memory

That died

A long time ago

But how was I to know

Love would hurt like this

Not when that first kiss

Was so sweet and pure

Back when 

I was so sure

 

I wouldn't care

I wouldn't mind

If you had one more time

Inside you

Just enough

To get me through

Get me by

Just enough to do it

Kill whatever was left inside

I wouldn't care

I wouldn't mind

If you had some left in you

To pour on me

Just enough to drown whatever was left

Rotting me

From the inside

I wouldn't care

I wouldn't mind
