When lovers love
Lovers share
They say things to each other
They typically wouldn't dare
They show their bast parts
Until those give way
And the awful pieces too
See the light of day
They offer of their hearts
Of bodies and souls
They pour into each other
Longing to feel whole
Give introductions
To passionate things
And love so deeply
Until it stings
Hey, girl
I'm calling you out
We had all of that
But you hid from your doubt
And now you've destroyed us
I want my things back
I want my thoughts, feelings and property back
I want my favorite songs
The ones that I play
I want those certain phrases
The ones we both say
Fuck you for making them
All about you
But deep down I know
It’s my fault - that’s the truth
It's not like my life
Had no meaning before
It's just I hadn't met someone
Quite like you before
And everything I love
Quickly became
One with you
One and the same
Oh hell
Why have you done this to me?
Can I not even have
This solitary song to sing?
How do I manage?
How do I cope?
How do I redefine?
I’ve got no hope
Most of my songs
See me resolve
I figure things out
They make me wiser and strong
But in this one in particular
I'm weak and I'm stuck
I'm vulnerable much like I was
During our love
I'm empty, I’m poor
Everything's now yours
I’ve got nothing left
Except these wistful chords
I'm living in my sorrow
I'm longing for myself
I'm in pain and anguish
You’re off working on yourself
When a song is written
It's the same for all time
But one day I'll sing this
And my heart will again be mine
And I'll feel it in the moment
It's good to do that
Then I'll move on
With a smile, alive
Imagine that
