I only sleep with the thought of you 
Waking up empty-handed 

No one speaks your name, but I wanted to 
Nothing but a theory best preserved in silence 

Distance well-maintained, too long to change 
Because you live nextdoor and I still write you letters 

Letting you down even in fantasy 
I always say more than I mean to 

My secrets within you - I know you keep track 
And I don’t know what occupies your day 

You admit you want me; I admit that I used to 
Hate to admit we ran out of time 

My cliche 
Your missed opportunity 

I’ll always be on the tip of your tongue 
What might have come from simply showing up sooner 

Tangled in intangibility 
The sweetness of heartache - dull and damning 

You could’ve been the death of me 
You aren’t even the life I have left 

There’s supposed to be freedom in a fall 
If only someone learned how to jump 

Speaking in riddles back then 
Sending me forever back in time 

I’m whispering words you pretend not to hear 
Just to see what time may have left to change 

I swear I’m not selfish 
I’m a girl frozen in time 

Promised I’d bury your bones, but I never got around to it 
Your eulogy has sung inside me all along 

Unfinished lyrics I wrote with no intention 
No ulterior motive in waiting on you 

Empty prayers, no resolution 
Let me romanticize nothing at all
