Linger

You was always trying to make us
Into something we could never be
So you may as well erase me!
Best kept memories, worthless apologies
Inseparable, now you don’t even acknowledge me
You were all that I had, you were all that I had
We would run between the lines, and I would chase you every single time
Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?
Stole all the water colours from our dreams
Told me our future was all just make-believe
Ripped me open for my friends to see, destroyed my world and made me bleed
Lost the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen
You took my heart and painted it black, looking on the bright side is something
I lack
You were all that I had
I lie in my room pulling out my own hair, it gives me something to do,
but doesn’t get me anywhere
Not even time can repair the space you left here in my chest, you linger in the
air
Fuck the facts, you knew all along we would never last
You were all that I had, you were all that I had
We would run between the lines and I would chase you every single time
Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?
Stole all the water colours from our dreams
I lie in my room pulling out my own hair, it gives me something to do,
but doesn’t get me anywhere
Not even time can repair the space you left here in my chest
You linger in the air
I used to think you was beautiful, but now you’re just bland and I’m so cynical
Your colours faded away unlike my feelings for you
