I’m saying I’m sorry like your gonna hear it,
I’ll say it once more but you’ll never believe it,
I’m the person with too many chances to take,
The only one who loves you because you’re fake.
You see me watching you for a sign,
You always tell me that you’re fine.
A distance we can never reach,
Unwritten codes we always breach.
We go against the rules they made,
Fighting battle after battle but our hearts are frayed,
Using everything they say to make them wonder why,
Confuse them as they wander when they look up at the sky.

I write stories in my head but they’re not real for you,
I can’t make you believe that the fantasy is true.
My reality is warped by your orbit into space,
Watching the clock like I watch your face.
Seeing the star that could never fall,
Clear as the writing on the wall.
Graffiti my heart with love letters and lies,
Etch “I love you” on my soul and then cut off all the ties,
They mean nothing when it’s you and me,
All they need is sympathy.
Groveling when you least expect it, spiraling out of reach,
They’ll never listen to a word but I’ve got a lesson to teach.

I’m dreaming still as we descend,
Hanging on ‘til the bitter end.
So I'll write you a note,
Send you a sign,
I’ll tell you anything, say I’m fine.
Told you I’d take a bullet for you,
Didn’t say I’d take it because of you.
Told you I was given tablets,
Didn’t say I was given them to take me.
Told you I was cutting,
Didn’t say it was me.
