In your wake
I accept any company,
I try to make myself feel good,
I cry anytime I'm alone
It doesn't feel right if I don't,
I don't talk about my day,
I don't talk about my feelings,
I think about why I'm still alive,
I dread the night,
Love is gross,
People are just smiling to make their way through,
I used to miss being young,
I used to doodle hearts,
I used to listen to love songs without breaking down,
I used to watch romance movies without a bitter speech,
I thought I was used to being alone,
But I've never felt so Alone
Even though I tell myself that's the way it's supposed to be;
I run from my feelings,
I force myself to get up when I wake up,
I used to lay in bed for hours just to stare at the ceiling,
Now I look at the cars rather than the houses,
I try to keep my mind occupied,
I try to keep my time closed,
I try to convince myself I don't need anything else
But I get a craving some nights,
But I feel an emptiness some nights
It keeps me awake,
When I never had trouble sleeping before you,
I didn't believe in love,
now I hate it
Why do I smile when I think of you,
When it makes me feel dead
What a blessing though
They worry of things that make no difference,
And I can't care of anything other than what I miss
And I don't wanna write
But I do anyway
Hoping time will have an explanation
Hoping that hope will be a good enough reason to get out of bed
And I fake it well enough to fool myself
