Heartsink

(tell me we’ll be erased
tell me when you’ll be satisfied
you can’t just walk away)
i wear it like an emblem
nostalgia in the A.M.
we’re buried in the playlists
i only have my hoarding heart to blame
a sea of broken pieces
i dive before it deepens
i’m drowning in the weekend
i never thought i’d wash this year away
i don’t want to feel my heart sink
i’m bailing but the walls keep leaking
tell it to the sleepless evenings
we can’t go back, we’re falling
i don’t want to build a time machine
i just want to fill this void i feel
deep into the night, i’m begging
we can’t go back, we’re fading
put up another barricade
we can’t keep out yesterday
when my resolve has weakened
i just can’t form the words that i should say
all the broken pieces
they’re looking like my demons
and sounding like your reasons
they’re hiding where the photos fade away
i don’t want to build a time machine
i just want to fill this void i feel
deep into the night, i’m begging
we can’t go back, we’re fading
(tell me we’ll be erased
tell me when you’ll be satisfied
you can’t just walk away)
