Of the past we've shared
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds
But together we got good at stopping time
My teen angst drove me to hurt myself
And I made you watch
Oh the pain I must have caused
But by staying around you saved my life (saved my life)
We were never meant to be lovers
Just fellow late bloomers
Who blossomed the part (2x)
Watching my parents
Made me look for something destructive
And there you were
With all the characteristics of my mom
Familiarity of home
The geographic gap let to forced adulthood
And your rage exposed
I'm glad we left things when we did
I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan
We were never meant to be lovers
We just mirrored each other's self destructiveness (self destructiveness)
The spotlight burned in the room when we were together
And we played our parts
And I wore an imaginary tv screen
So you never got to touch my heart
We were never meant to be lovers
Our egos fed of each other
And died overweight 2x
I thought I'd seen it all when u first walked in
But you shut me up
And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself
And you haven't ever stopped
I'll always treasure the naivety Of the past we've shared Our bodies grew much faster than our minds But together we got good at stopping time My teen angst drove me to hurt myself And I made you watch Oh the pain I must have caused But by staying around you saved my life (saved my life) We were never meant to be lovers Just fellow late bloomers Who blossomed the part (2x) Watching my parents Made me look for something destructive And there you were With all the characteristics of my mom Familiarity of home The geographic gap let to forced adulthood And your rage exposed I'm glad we left things when we did I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan We were never meant to be lovers We just mirrored each other's self destructiveness (self destructiveness) The spotlight burned in the room when we were together And we played our parts And I wore an imaginary tv screen So you never got to touch my heart We were never meant to be lovers Our egos fed of each other And died overweight 2x I thought I'd seen it all when u first walked in But you shut me up And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself And you haven't ever stopped Explain Request ×
