about

this song is about forgiveness.

lyrics

I will miss you when this starts all over again
My name may be different but my lungs are still the same
Now there’s bruises on my skin and machines that still run without you
I’ve been thinking lately about what it means to be a good person

I will miss you
I will become you

I’m sorry but I read your diary, I hope you can forgive me
As I forgive you, please know that it is true, that I loved you
We always kiss at red lights but that’s only ‘cause I took my hand off the wheel
Dying in a dream makes the nightmare of living seem okay

You were my favorite person
With every capital letter

Your mother’s so sorry, she knows how much she’s hurt you
But it will take some time before you’ll ever feel safe again, I’m sorry
Trauma begets trauma, we know that ‘cause we’ve watched it unfold before us
But I want to forget all that’s happened, yeah, I’d rather start something new

This house is decaying
A place I’ll never see

Put the fear of God inside my head like it used to rage inside my chest
But she’s here now so you can rest, hold on, we’ll try and do our best
I’ll cut out my tongue, so I will never speak again,
I will never speak again, I will never speak again
I can be the water in your lungs
I can be the one you leave behind
I will stare into the abyss, I will see what I’ve become
I will be nothing, I will be something

I will be nothing
I will be something

(Please don’t haunt me, please don’t leave me)
(Here comes the moonlight, sirens in the long dark night)
(You’re only eighteen and you’re already so sick)
