Write Things Down

It’s safe to call me human
It’s safe to call me afraid
It’s safe to say I’m a coward
I know that I’m not brave

I wait for my morning throughout the afternoon
For her to wake up and be the best part of my day

Lazy girl

She cut her hair short
To be more like mine
On pillows and shirts

So you wouldn’t second guess
To keep us all together

I can still taste you on the Chapstick we shared
For a moment I’m sad
I pick up a new tube the next time I’m at the store

I’ll live like a lie and take on a life of my own
Living for no one but myself

I’m a liar
The lies I told keep me away from you

To keep things from all falling apart
To keep her breathing
To keep me sane
To keep you married
To keep things at the status quo

My feelings for you aren’t fair
They’re tearing everyone apart

The distance between us is the only thing keeping our lips apart
It isn’t him and it sure aint her
We’re past caring about promises
Fuck rings

He drinks whiskey then smokes lights
Then doesn’t get you off
Come to daddy

I swear some of the best sex is when you can just leave afterwards
But this is my place
Get along, reverse cowgirl
Get along

I opened my heart and you just opened your legs
I wasn’t disappointed

She’s giving up smoking and still has an oral fixation
I’m a lucky man
A very lucky man

She screamed my name into my neck so the neighbors wouldn’t hear
They did anyways

The dinner tasted sick with the flavor of her stale on my fingertips
I was too much of a pervert to use a fork

She was a notch in a broken belt used to beat myself
I wasn’t doing this for the fun anymore
She was a mission I had to accomplish

I made you better for the next man
I taught you things men love girls like you to know

You weren’t a virgin
You weren’t a deviant

I pushed you over the line every time I made you cum
