She was just a world that I needed; a splinter in my head that never hurts,
and now I'm the need of another.

There's nothing I can say to change it,
this was not the scene I thought you'd play,
the movie in my head has been betrayed.

there's a moment I won't forget when you looked me dead in the eye
and told me so gently "You should go, you're wasting time."
Is anyone laughing? Or has this joke gone too far?
I'm watching you ask me: "Are you okay? I know it's hard."
(stop)

I will not bother to sink into the deep end 'til the bottom of a bottle is my only friend.
I will drive 'til midnight until these fumes surround me. Fuck, I wish these headlights weren't taking me home.

Chorus

it's amazing how fast this dream awoke me with shivering cold,
for you to remind me: "You fucked up, now just go back home."
I know you never meant to do this; really, it's a shame it went this far.
You can't make this simple, and I'm to blame. I hate that part.

I will not bother to sink into the deep end 'til the bottom of a bottle is my only friend.
I will drive til midnight until these fumes surround me. I wish these fucking headlights weren't taking me home.

Maybe it's hopeless
if that's what you want,
both of us know this.
Maybe it's hopeless,
a future for none
within this mitosis.

All I've ever asked for was your appreciation.
How's that for entitled and irrational?
We've all mistaken kindness for someone's captivation,
but sometimes a denial can cut to the bone.

There's nothing I can say to change it,
this was not the scene I thought you'd play,
you don't owe me a thing and that's okay.
That's okay.
