Misinterpreting Our Break-Up
To operate your happiness, you put batteries in flowers
Their stems stand up as you walk by and they smile
Their pretty white laced petals will never fall apart
You will never be amazed, quite like I am
How do you bring you to your knees?
Speak your name in tongues and tangle the heartstrings
How much would you pay for vintage wine?
And how are those visions of the future going?
Because my past is jotting little ellipses
To be continued for somebody else's life
Your tears are never melancholy messengers
You will never feel the things you once felt before
How pain can be such ignorance
To change a poor soul into a wealthy man
This paid for beauty cannot be bliss
To change your fate, you turn back the clocks
4am seems so useless when you're asleep
Pretend I never existed; erase all your memories of me
Throw out your arms and scream "I'm alive"
You say "I'm alive without you and I'm happy"
When I know you're nothing but loathing who you are today
How can you be a King when you can't see past the Queen?
You're living in an unwelcomed¹ world
And for all you know, I'm the gatekeeper
I will never let you out if you never wanted in
I would lie down and speak to myself as you wished me away
Told myself I don't need a friend
Just someone to run to
¹unwelcomed - not welcomed, obviously.
