Feels like poison

Having these thoughts around you

Just avoid it

Play it off like we're perfect

Deep under the surface
We both know

That something ain't working

Do I pick up the pieces or leave 'em

You're asleep while I stare at the ceiling, thinking

What if I lose all that we have?

What if forever's a year and a half?

What if when I pick door number two

All I ever do is look for you

Maybe we're holding each other back

Without me you could be the best version of you

Should walk away if I love you

But I hope that one day you'll get better

Someday we'll find our way back together

Say I knew it all along

Or will we listen and laugh

Went to hell but we came back
