pour my tea, pour my thoughts into separate beds
spilling out in the clouds, whirling like a pirouette
every breath, every cross, everywhere i turn
in my head, stitching thread, until my temples burn
from the crease of your mouth to the picket fences
all the space, stretching out, blurring my defenses
dignity, diligence, i could not avenge
sink my teeth in the sheets and taste the emptiness
love is sweet, love is dark and it pulls
your world apart, so you can grow
now i see perfectly, oh how it’s clear
what i needed the most was you here
 [bad word] 
if i ever let you down
if i ever let you down
if i ever let you down
if i ever let you down

spend my time, spend my dime, waiting for the train
all of these memories float around and ricochet
like a storm when it's thrown out over the sea
as i roll, as i grow, tougher than i used to be
love is sweet and it calls you again
to bring you back from where you’ve been
now i see perfectly through all the fear
what i needed the most was you here
 [bad word] 

you will feel my love, when the [bad word] hear me say
you will feel my love, when the [bad word]  and you say
never be the same as before, it’ll never be the same, i deserve much more
hard to blame you my love, so so, oh
 [bad word]  x2
