Intro

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 u saved my life

We were never meant to be lovers, just fellow late bloomers

 Who blossomed apart, who blossomed apart

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, and died overweight,

I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up

 And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself

 And you haven't ever stopped
