Late night thoughts get the best of me
Tossing and turning
Can't slow em down enough to sleep
Pull my sheets up around my neck
And pray to the ceiling
I get you all out of my head
I replay every word
That you said to me that day
Puzzle-piecing promises
Ones I kept you never made
You pinky swore
You crossed your heart
But as my ribcage comes apart
Sunlit-covered truths
Can turn to lies
In the dark
Cut my teeth on your tee shirt sleeves
The past few octobers
Confetti made of leaves
Run my mouth just to hear your name
Silence is deafening
But it's quiet all the same
Violent truths and blank eyed stares
Try to mask what's in my eyes
Twilight covers up the pain
But there's thoughts I can't disguise
You read my mind
Once again
Hold my breath and count to ten
My chest is splitting open
'Cause you know I can't pretend
