Well here's the song you wish I wrote when I was seventeen
Young enough to utter love, still not sure of what we mean
Promises were soon to be forgotten
"Let's begin with your self-loathing"
Taking pictures off the wall
Do you regret your choice of clothing?
Act like I don't care at all
When you elaborate about him
Speak your mind
I will write down every word
The best things left unsaid
Go unheard
Well here's the song you wish I wrote when we would fall apart
Struggling to find myself amidst a broken heart
Sunsets they attribute to the sadness
Let's pretend you didn't matter, I'll pretend I didn't care
We can make up like we're friends
And we can spend another year...
But I want to contribute to the madness
Speak your mind
I will write down every word
The best things left unsaid
Go unheard
Inhale your brief desires
Exhale your deepest sin
And I will breathe you in
I will breathe you in
Throw keepsakes in the fire
Exhale to feel again
And I will breathe you in
I will breathe you in
And I'll hold you in!
You are my favorite nightmare
Disguise you as a dream
Things aren't always the way they seem
You are the space in my bed
And every place we've seen
It feels so good to intervene
You are a flower that's in bloom
And I'm still stuck inside my room
Writing songs about the past again
You are the works of Claude Monet
With every word I wrote you to stay
So darling...
Won't you stay the night?
Here's the song I wish I wrote when I was seventeen
