Butterfly Veins
You call me in the middle of the night
I can feel the sting of your tears as you cry
And all the knots in my stomach grip my pride
But there isn't anything to change these feelings inside
Because no matter how much I try to forget
You drive me to a corner where I'm forced to submit
No matter what my mind says is right
My body wants you tonight
You need me to be there is what you say
Ask if maybe at my place you can stay
I stay on the phone as you walk the way here
And as I open the door your heavy eyes make me want to disappear
Your pain is so relevant on your face
And I clench my fists tight to stop from screaming that girls name
Why the hell would you let someone treat you that way
Throw away your emotions and worry about only their sake
We go to my room and curl up on the bed
And you talk about the things shes said
I listen to you and then tell you about me
And our conversations get so intimate it's irritating
Because even though I know you just need a friend
I want so badly to heal those wounds she's inflicted
Pull you into my arms and never let you go
God, how can you stand to be with me alone
I feel tainted around you, with my nerves so high
My butterfly veins tilt upward as I fly toward the sky
You make my head float so damn high
And I know that I will never forget this night
How your foot bumped mine and even though you were crying
Somehow together we were able to shed some light
And when it's finally all over, we stare at the painting on my wall
You ask me what's on my mind
But I can't even begin to describe how it is
So you look at me with those brown eyes
Telling me you can't do this, but you want so much
And we listen to the lullaby of the early morning when it comes around
Her name being forgotten with these new sounds
You finally get up off the bed saying it's about time
So we walk back down the stairs back into the outside
And you hug me so tight, thanking me for always being by your side
I just want to pull you back inside.
