Something Chewy

In a braided goodbye it all fell into air

I never liked you enough or tried hard to care

You were only a boy, who wanted one thing

And I am a girl, but made out of string

I get tied up in places that I'd rather not be

With people without enough subtlety

I'd like to be liked, but I'd rather be real

From now on my heart won't be easy to steal

Just slow down your breathing, and say your words fast

This summer's too small, but so is our past

All the boys that have said but never did love me

Have rotted my heart, and made me empty

But between all the lies mistaken for truths

I caught everything solid, and pulled my soul loose

From the rocks and the fingers that clouded my mind

Now my headache's are gone, and I'm not quite so blind
