You look much sweeter when you're lying still.
Mine to have and hold to kiss or kill.
This never dieing is now undead.
It's buried with the things we never said.
Even if my heart should break like glass.
You've made a mark on me,
a permanent stain I'd never want to erase.
So I'll scream some more.
Until you finally hear this.
I could settle on being just friends, but
this feeling will carry on.
My hearts in a million pieces,
but it's worth the five hour drive.
Another time, some other place.
Summers gone now without a trace.
Life without you has lost it's appeal.
The scars you left me with
won't seem to heal.
