Every time I pick up a pen,
it?s all you
And there beside me
in my mirror, all I can see
is us two, the pages
turn so fast,
and like all old pages do,
the words, they bleed through

Get back in my arms, they?re
Just hanging by my side
Losing hold of you has
Left me dry
Tell me where you run to
Where do you hide?
You know you never once
Left my mind
Tell yourself I?m sorry
For the things that I?ve done
Tell yourself you?ve never seen
The barrel of that gun
Tell yourself it?s over now
And not to run
And tell yourself I?m sorry
For what I?ve done

Listen while I?m talking,
I don?t do it too much
I can?t help feeling
That came between us
What ever happened to
The way that it was?
The one thing I can?t have
Is what I want...
Who decided it`s gonna
End up this way?
Who decided that you
Could not stay?
You want to be here by
The end of my day,
Cuz I can?t even listen
To the words I say

I swear you never really miss it till it`s half
Gone and you tighten up your grip trying to
Hold on didn?t really appreciate it when it`s
In your arms and you can relate to every
Word in your song like was I wrong? But
I know I?m right but in hindsight, I
Blame the limelight maybe I just needed
Time to get my mind right maybe we?ll reconnect when
The time`s right trying to think
About the causes was I too bossy ? exactly
What the cause is I was told to step in love
With some caution cuz love and shit is no
Difference in the darkness but love is where
The heart is and you can see the blood as
It?s dripping through the gauzes
So I guess I fell out of love with her smile
And more in love with applauses

It?s quiet in my house,
Your silence is my home,
And everything reminds me
That I am all alone
It?s quite where you used to be,
And now that you?re gone,
It?s not a sound, not a word,
But a dial tone
It`s quiet when I?m drinking
It`s quiet when I smoke,
It`s... when I?m eating, oh
And I sleep all alone
It`s quiet now, it was louder
Then, I stand still like a stone
Only from my dreams you want go

How did I get in this predicament
Was I influenced by the benefits
Cuz I was hitting on so many chicks,
Loving you and having you was the only sentiment
But I guess I wasn?t ready for you
Cuz I?m rubbing your feet, cooking spaghetti for you
Taking you to parks, winning teddies for you
But in my heart I?m thinking
There?s someone better for you
But my heart`s like
?no, not this again cut it out Black,
You know how This?ll end.?
And I swear that I really was listening
But my __ was yelling
And my heart was just whispering
So you know who I listened to
Now my heart`s bitching
Cuz he?s missing you
Got my eyes staring at some old flicks of you
And my nose swear that he still smells the scent of you
And my soul?s saying ?damn, she was meant for you.?

Why won?t come back
I?m losing part of myself
I?ve been wondering, watching,
Waiting so long
I?ve been talking I been listening
I?ve been writing my songs
I?ve been hoping you?ve been
Hearing on this radio now,
That I?m not with you
But I miss you
