Subtext/Echo

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)
