If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand. I hope you
find out what you want. I already know what I am. And if it makes
you less sad, we'll start talking again. And you can tell me
how vile I already know that I am. I'll grow old and start
acting my age. I'll be a brand new day in a life that you
hate. A crown of gold. A heart that's harder than stone. And
it hurts a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone.
Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad
that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can
forget. If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of the state.
You can keep to yourself. I'll keep out of your way. And if
it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down.
Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out. It's cold
as a tomb, and it's dark in your room, when I sneak to your
bed to pour salt in your wounds. So call it quits or get a grip.
Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be missed. Call me
a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you
can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget...
You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold. Pale white,
like the skin stretched over your bones. Spring keeps you ever
close. You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin.
Standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you
can. You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my
veins. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm
glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you
can forget.
