lyrics

i wanna stare into the soul that you said knew mine
just to prove to both of us that what you said to me was all a lie
i knew it wasn't true when you first said it to me
in your eyes i noticed my reflection
it was the first time i felt happy in weeks
so i smiled, said i agree
just like all the times before when my throat closed up and i couldn't s- (speak)
i wanna feel your hands on me
but not when you used them to punch me
i wanna feel the sun on my cheeks
i wanna feel my own skin
god it reeks of you
i wanna know if you loved me you'd leave
but i think i need you to show me
i wanna know that if i died
you would regret what you did
but i know deep down
you'd move on so quick
it's funny how hard we both tried

love that never hurt us like this before
the moment that i met you it started
