Since March of 2017


 

7 months forward and i'm sitting here all alone

i forget your face I only remember in the songs

I'm feeling lost and

 

 I just remember

when you said

with you it's better than it's ever been you're like- a brand new oxygen

you know, i can't breathe without you

then you went you changed and then suddenly you didn'tneedtobreathe

and said you're better off without me

this new girl took your breath away anyway

I wrote this reflecting on the time you stopped loving me

I remember the anxiety of our relationship’s fragility

I didn't wanna think of you

Not this old and ugly point of view the only one i ever knew

 

Starting to forget it was you who said

with you it's better than it's ever been you're like a brand new oxygen

you know i can't breathe without you

then you went you changed and then suddenly you didn't need to breathe

and said you're better off without me

this new girl took your breath away anyway

And since. then. Since you wore my heart paper thin

I keep track of every Dart thrown at me

Look for your face in every car rolling down our streets

I’ll never find you

But I’m glad.

It’s time to let go of the toxic love we had

Obsessed because I loved you

Because you loved me

I’ll find something pure now
