Is it okay to confess
I have no room in this chest
Cavity for myself
Cause I keep thinking of you
And everyone else, lovers old or new
What would I do, if I was free to do as I pleased?
Free to escape
Maybe with you be?
What would I do if we were alone
And the glint in your eye promised to never send me home?
What would we do if we had no restraint
No chains, no limitations, no other people standing in our way?
Who would we turn to, when it fell apart?
Deep down I could see who we would, and it couldnt be eachothers hearts.
I'll blame it on that incessant love
The one that clings to my spine
I'll blame it on that scorching kiss
Every time we say our goodbyes
But most of all, I'll blame it on, the way your body makes me feel
Blame every problem you ever face
On me like you did before "we" lost our place
I'll keep it real, douse the flames, cause I cant be who that is.
I'm writing this, so you can see, who I really am.
Noone knows, me least of all, cause we couldnt pass the entrance exam.
So I'll tell you this true, even though I'd rather die than admit
That I have lots of regrets, more than I could ever permit
To explain to tell to push out of me
I wonder about people
I never got to see.
So I'll be on my own, and remember your smile
I'll look out the window, and see the colour purple
A lift of my lips, a bite of my tongue
So I'll walk down the hall, and see your memorised walk
I'll be feckless and unknowing, and feel your hands on my hips from behind
A shiver as I see the demon has won.
Look deep into my eyes now
And tell me what you see
For when I look in the mirror
An ugly girl is all the reflection could be
And theres nights I dream of you looking deep into my eyes now
And telling me you see paradise
There will be no mirrors, as we fall from our chains
We will both be beauties, in the sea of sin again
Those mornings I wake up, with a smile upon my face
And I cling to the dreamland, aching to touch your body and feel your embrace
What would you do if we were locked in a room?
Free to explore eachothers perfume
What would I do if I felt your lips and saw the glint in your eye
That told me I could wave heaven goodbye?
I'll blame it on your incessant love
The one that clings to my spine
I'll blame it on that scorching kiss
Every time we say our goodbyes
I'm writing this, so you can see, who I really am.
Noone knows, me least of all, cause we couldnt pass the entrance exam.
Won't you remember, cause I'll never forget
The taste of my tongue and the graze of your hips
I'll start to wonder how things could have been
If I didnt send that email, if I hadnt pushed you away from me
Life is hard, and some things have to be given a miss
But really and truly, things are always falling adrift.
Feelings of emptiness still never cease to exist
I blink at the ceiling in my drunken mist
My worst fear is that I'll take advantage of those frequently felt moments
Where I want him to take me, to own me, to change me
That I'll be like you, entirely someone elses with secrets to tell
The fear is overwhelming that I'll lose sight of myself
When really all I want is to be lost inside someone else
Maybe you'll look at me in my glorified crusade and proclaim you love me
In each and every way
Baby I couldn't handle that, hear me when I say, I'm nothing to love, I'm a scapegoat born and made
My fears battle with the sentences constructed, to yell and say
but I'll leave you with this; I want to be vindicated, as free as you think I am
I need something to complete me after I lost him, I can't keep living this way.
I'll blame it on your incessant love
The one that clings to my spine
Something so wrong, seemed so right
Alas, I falter; this confusion cannot go on
I'll blame it on that incessant love
The one that clings to my spine
I'll blame it on that scorching kiss
Every time we say our goodbyes
But most of all, I'll blame it on, the way your body makes me feel
Blame every problem you ever face
On me like you did before "we" lost our place
I'll keep it real, douse the flames, cause I cant be who that is.
I'm writing this, so you can see, who I really am.
Noone knows, me least of all, cause we couldnt pass the entrance exam.
Won't you remember, cause I'll never forget
Cant you see I'm a mess,
Can't you see how I'm bruised?
I will wonder always, if we'd laugh or cry in that isolated locked room
And I'll keep memories closer, than the regrets I cant forget
So don't go worrying about me, I'll fight my way out like I always do
Reinvent myself when the time calls for something fun and new
Hate me for the things I never do
hate me for every time I've ever been untrue
hate me for every single mistake I made
because honey you really wouldnt be the first
Hate me for how I could never go back to you.
