The Breakup Song

written in your lines,
all my once upon a times —
I can’t escape,
you break me wide open —
snatch pieces of soul,
scatter me like confetti and celebrate —
as you take me under your waves

I drown a little — but learn to swim,
I lose my breath, you find my strings —
and play,
pump adrenaline through my veins,
take me over —
night and day

you ignite my tears
as your symphony of misery — 
sings my life,
blue days are just so long,
the nights melodies — 
just sound so unkind

you call my name
with your crazy beat,
damn — you make such sense to me
but I can’t explain,
set fires to my bones,
I like the way it burns —
dance all over me with flames

you play your song,
heart skips to your beat
you shoot me down,
I trip over my feet —
fall back onto those memories,
flipping through ex files once again

I lose myself —
and lose my way,
nostalgia paints me over —
and I’m never quite the same,
never quite the same

you’re so bad for me —
but feel so good at the same time,
you’re killing me so endlessly —
but making me feel so alive,
feel so alive

your lyrics cut — and bleed me dry
it’s such a bloody, big mess in my mind,
your chorus breaks my heart, bends my spine,
dislocates my hip —
sways my waistline,
sways my waistline

I turn the radio up
as the DJ rewinds —
just one more time,
when the music dies — we say goodbye
just one more time,
when the music dies — we say goodbye

but freedom doesn’t feel so free —
when you’re out of love
like you and me,
you and me —
out of time
