I lost a love I didn’t know was dead
And you can’t love me anymore
I’m afraid to ever love again, 'cause I can’t take another death
You had time to mourn our love
I did not, I did not
You deserved so much better than who I was
We weren’t fine, you and I

Widow

In sickness and In health
In debt and in wealth
You couldn’t make those vows,
So you left
to love and to cherish,
till death do us part,
But seeing me on the edge
Killed a part of you
So maybe we were already there
And that is so goddamn unfair
So maybe we were already there
And darling that is so goddamn unfair
And you were always there,
And maybe that’s why I didn’t care
To try and fix myself
And so I had to learn,
How to protect myself
With no safety net
And this disease
That keeps following me
Is mine to bear
so forgive me for thinking
that it’s so goddamn unfair
It’s mine to bear
It’s mine to bear
And that is so goddamn unfair
It’s mine to bear
And that is so goddamn unfair
I became a widow, before I was wed
I lost a love, I didn’t know was dead

if I saw you now
I don’t think I’d recognise the look in your eyes
Your face would look the same,
But I know you’re different inside
So am I
We were dying a slow and silent death
So before you left, I was already,
already bereft
I was dying a slow and painful death
You equipped a silencer before you shot me in the chest
i was always scared that I was taking too much
Always terrified you’d get tired of being my crutch
Well I guess my fears were rational
I was right to be afraid
You said id live and die by your side
And in some ways I did
We were dying a slow and silent death
So before you left, I was already,
already bereft
I was dying a slow and painful death
You equipped a silencer before you shot me
You shot me in the chest
You shot me, you shot me in the chest
You shot me, you shot me in the chest
You shot me, you shot me in the chest
You shot me, you shot me in the chest
Had you already dug our grave?
A year before that day
you had time to mourn our love
I did not, I did not

Young love, head over heels
I should’ve known it’d end with grazed knees
And deep rooted fears
That I’d never love again, and if I did I’d end up burying it
There was a mark on my finger
Where you placed that ring
maybe we were too young
and didn’t know what we were doing
But it felt like love, in the beginning
It felt like love,
It felt like love, in the beginning ,
It felt like love
And I think that I should just stay alone
And not let anyone make me their home
Because my walls are cracked and foundations are torn
I’m not a place that’ll keep you warm
I’m starting to get used to wearing the colour black
And attending funerals for love I just won’t get back
I’m sick of laying wilted flowers carefully on graves
and the pain that I still feel from skin i no longer engrave
skin i try to no longer engrave
And it felt like love, in the beginning
It felt like love,
It felt like love, in the beginning,
It felt like love
And it felt like love, in the beginning
It felt like love,
It felt like love, in the beginning,
It felt like love
Young love, head over heels
I should’ve known it’d end with funeral suits
And hospital beds
I’m afraid to ever love again, because I can’t take another death, I’m too bereft

Beautiful, but Bleak

And I feel like I was broken
That day back in October
When you said you didn’t love me
But you couldn’t explain why
And maybe it’ll change
But maybe I won’t
It’s time to live faster
But still die slow
But still young
Oh how I wish to die young
Oh how I wish to die young
And once again it’s 2am
Unable to fall asleep
I slept until 2pm again
Because I couldn’t face this week
The wind is howling at the window
It’s beautiful but bleak
And maybe that’s all
it was ever meant to be
I can no longer see
And I can barely speak
The words get stuck more than usual
And I am far too weak
to finish any sentence
Or write any more words
When no one wants to listen
When I am never heard
And once again it’s 2am
Unable to fall asleep
I slept until 2pm again
Because I couldn’t face this week
The wind is howling at the window
It’s beautiful but bleak
And maybe that’s all
it was ever meant to be
Maybe that’s all we were ever meant to be
Maybe that all I was ever meant to be
Not beautiful but bleak

Wounds

Hanging on by a shoestring, no longer afraid of the dark or death, I know I must face him
I try to focus less on what I’ve lost, and more on what I’ve gained, but it always goes full circle,
Refrain on last line
to gain is to lose, in the end
Wounds to the body heal, but show that you’ve seen pain, Wounds to the heart remain and are harder to explain
The rose from the tint in my glasses has wilted, frayed
and I wish it had died sooner so I could’ve seen you fade
long before you walked away
I’ll write until I die,
A death by your side
I hope that there’s no afterlife
I’ll write until I die
A death by your side
I hope that there’s no afterlife
because I don’t want to see what I left behind
because I don’t want to see what I left behind
Wounds to the body heal, but show that you’ve seen pain, Wounds to the heart remain and are harder to explain
The rose from the tint in my glasses has wilted, frayed
and I wish it had died sooner so I could’ve seen you fade
long before you walked away
I’m so broken over what has and hasn’t been
The darkest days, all colour stripped from the cracked walls within
I wear my heart on my sleeve and everyone takes a piece
I wear my heart on my sleeve so go on take a piece
