Want to forget
(Like it never happened)
Want to pretend
(Like “we” never existed)
Want to lay
(Like I never laid next to you)
Want to sleep
(like I never dreamt of you)
Seeing you is the last thing I want
(But, seeing you is also the first)
I can’t breathe without the air you gave
(Why do I choke when with anyone else?)
Want to take a knife and cut you out of my memory
(Like I cut the blood from my arms)
I imagine you happy but how can if you were happiest with me?
(You weren’t)
You gave me life
(I gave you death)
I killed the thought of you loving me
(You brought life to the thought of loving you)
Now as I’m left here complaining I have one more complaint
I hate you
(I love you)
(Like it never happened)
Want to pretend
(Like “we” never existed)
Want to lay
(Like I never laid next to you)
Want to sleep
(like I never dreamt of you)
Seeing you is the last thing I want
(But, seeing you is also the first)
I can’t breathe without the air you gave
(Why do I choke when with anyone else?)
Want to take a knife and cut you out of my memory
(Like I cut the blood from my arms)
I imagine you happy but how can if you were happiest with me?
(You weren’t)
You gave me life
(I gave you death)
I killed the thought of you loving me
(You brought life to the thought of loving you)
Now as I’m left here complaining I have one more complaint
I hate you
(I love you)
