DEAD LOVE

I wish that I knew

A better version of you

We're both black and blue

Perverting the truth

Yeah I'm all outta hope

I've replaced them with smoke

A vile of dope

And a suicide rope

Tell me it gets better

I don’t mind if it’s a lie

What's holding us together

Cuz I think I'm changing sides

Take me out with a look

I'll read your posture like a book

But your words are sharp and mean

There are no spaces in-between

Please don’t make me love you darling

you're a ghost and you seem so lonely

Your spirit haunts me in my bed

Could I be just like you,

beautiful and dead
