A Young Lost Love


Ok listen, I've been a mess since my heart went missing Sitting bedside with my eyes closed wishing We could go back to the nights we don't remember Living the young life saying this would last forever Late night texting, talking about whatever you had my heart feeling like a floating feather I had you on my mind every time I was alone on a cold night in December You said there was nothing And I say there was something I kept my heart because I didn't know if you would want it Its hard to love again when you're only two weeks sober It felt like we were just a text, text, and over And we don't even talk anymore You hardly even notice when I walk through the door Its crazy how this even happened to us, thinking about how we used to be free like before Now its gone... I don't know what to do It's a cold world and I think I'm coming down with the flu If I changed the hands of time I'd come back just for you my love was lost and you're the living proof I'm trying to get away from it all checking my phone like I'm expecting a call. Cold drinks and mind half faded slowly starting over and I'm starting with the basics Check check 1 2 you have a broken heart I say I have one too like a fresh tattoo yeah it hurts real good My fire is burning out time to throw in the wood from a broken tree, that was strong as can be. It was hard to defeat always on my mind man it's hard to delete! My throbbing heart goes along with the beat I know I'm not perfect and it's hard to compete when you are looking for the one that'll sweep you up off your feet and it comes and goes I'm balancing on edge, living west coast Just waiting to fall one way or another you wanted my love but I guess I'm not a lover I should of treated you right, you weren't just a number. We thought we knew back when we were younger but we were only dumber playing silly games like Hunger. Don't ever think of me if you ever tried to wonder. I'm okay see, you can hear it start to thunder Our love was lost and we never found it I guess that's how it goes I swear but I won't forget you We all got to break loose sometime I screwed things up but I promise that was one time. Now I'm sitting at home without a worry in the world while my heart is still singing just waiting for a punch line Now I'm coasting someone will come along and like the message I'm posting living life frankly and take dips in the ocean my life is black and white because I swear it feels like I'm going through the motions I'm finished I'm through I may meet a bunch of girls but i promise I won't forget you because you are the reason why I write... and I want to thank you!
