I’ve been flailing over your name 
And you said you’re just not the same 
But you also said, please don’t leave
So I don’t know which to believe 
And you hold the edge of my shirt 
And you beg life not to hurt
You anymore
But you close the door 
When you see it’s me outside 
And there were years I hide
Because I was scared of what you’d see
But I never thought you would hate me 
For what I’ve become 
And you only loved me when I was young
And you wanted to get some 
But then I bloomed
And you were not the only one in the room 
But I feel the end is coming soon 
So I must proclaim 
That I clicked into your name 
When I saw it on my screen
And it opened a panoramic dream 
A wide landscape 
And it called me to escape 
From where I was 
Am I breaking any laws
If I say I love you so 
But you just sigh and ask me to go 
That you’re not alone 
And you can’t keep talking to me on the phone 
Not with your girl beside you 
And I deride you 
For a lack of backbone 
But you still have a home 
And I’m at the edge of the forest 
It’s wild and free and it keeps me honest
But I miss the familiar plains of your face
And the way there was no time to waste 
When we met 
And I cannot forget 
The desperation 
Am I getting above my station 
To say I saw myself refracted 
I was a puzzle but you hacked it 
Then left the code at my feet
And I admitted utter defeat 
And shame 
That I can’t take your name 
Only the blame 
For all the ways it won’t be the same 
But I’m still grateful to you 
And to her for pulling the needle through 
On the line you sew 
And I claim I know 
But I am ignorant as fuck 
Was happening upon you pot luck
