keeping score

And you’re running far away

From a girl that stole your heart

But you’re still looking back

Why not add another start?



Look how my hands,

They shake for you alone

I lay in the dark waiting

This silence feels so unknown



So I know I’ve been erased

I haven’t shaken these bones

These parents must see that kids

Need not houses, but homes



If I gave you my nothing

Would you have opened arms?

Because an intangible soul

Sounds your inner alarms



She’s might turn into one of us

And maybe I was right,

Or maybe you were

But we aren’t keeping score tonight



Life was always a game to me

One I never won

The more I wanted this to end

I realized, the more it had begun
