i tried to iron your wrinkles from my brain
buried alive and five feet deep
but out they creep, and when i sleep
i dream of how we could have been
but shit's the same for me as i was feeling this time last year
i thought i'd changed but it's the same, i just fell harder
please let me bleed into your wounds
so you can catch me if you can
and you can be my superman
and if you need a place to land
you can put your boots down on my face
and rub out all your cigarettes
and i don't know why you set it up
just to knock it down
and i scramble for the pieces
as they clatter to the ground
i would put it back together
but you step onto my finger
and the pain still lingers when i bend them
brings me back to you
new year, new year, same situation
but more baggage
now there's boys, and friends, and benefits
i play the field, i swing, i miss
collateral, i damage
and you weren't just practice i swear
and i care about you more than most
believing me's the hardest thing, i hope
you never have to deal with shit like me again
and god i pray you never change for someone
i'm undone i'm melting on your chest
exposed for the first time
like back when i was seventeen
just as guilty, for different reasons
less religion, but even lower self esteem
and i don't know why you set it up
just to knock it down
and i scramble for the pieces
as they clatter to the ground
i would put it back together
but you step onto my finger
and the pain still lingers when i bend them
brings me back to you
please let me bleed into your wounds
so you can catch me if you can
christ, i'm sorry, i go so far out of line
