Half of this decade I spent inside my head

Just Waging wars

Upon All these paragraphs on

Parchment paper that I tore

But I've finally found the words I

I need the both of us to hear

There's so much of you I love

And so much of me I fear

I threw rocks outside your window

Hoping you could guide me home

I thought it was my casket

But it's only when I'm not alone

I spilled out these dilapidated guts

Inside a parking lot and the trail

It led me straight to you

When I searched and I searched for

What's a boy to do

We sold souls for second chances

We stole kisses like a crime

We took risks on broken hearts but

We gave reason to this rhyme

Now the weight of this whole world

I could carry with ease

Even with these heavy arms

And even with these weakened knees

Lost inside of coffee talks

And drunk of smiles and laughter

Only made one thing sure

For once in my life, I felt

Life went on

We drove all night until the dawn

But the sunrise

Showed off all the tears in your eyes

And I said I'll be

Whatever you want me to be

Even if you don't need me

Now this evening is slowly dying

Alongside my broken phone

I hope one day you will answer

And I'm more than just a ringtone

I am sorry for my actions.

But I'm grateful for our days

I just want our final chapter

To not be a bad cliché

I had to learn the hard way

There's no happily ever after

But stories still end for the best

So I hope you know

Even with these broken bones

That I still hold you close to my chest
