My Queen

Pull the shade and trap the light in
Illuminate the room so I can see your face
I need to hear it in person
I need to know it was worth it
Took the risk and came on over
Keeping count of everything I didn't say
Heard your breathing get lower
The room was getting smaller as you
Threw your arms around me way too fast
(What did it really mean?)
And questioned if I thought it all would last
(Will it all last?)
Blocking out our future with my past
(What does it really mean?)
If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask
(Why'd you ask?)
If it still haunts me?
It still haunts me
Hung the pictures that you painted
Hallucinations of a love that was never there
I felt you start getting nervous
You put a gloss on the surface of my
Favorite thing you ever drew
You said it needed more
Shaded in the grays
And then you hung it on your door
If nothing's ever finished it ends up on the floor
Just like we did
Just like we did
Threw your arms around me way too fast
(What did it really mean?)
And questioned if I thought it all would last
(Will it all last?)
Blocking out our future with my past
(What does it really mean?)
If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask
(Why'd you ask?)
If it still haunts me?
It still haunts me
(One, two, three, four)
I think about it when I'm falling asleep
All the parts of you that I couldn't keep
My nightmares torment me much worse
The longer you're not here
I keep my energy the lowest I can
And try and think about where all this began
For heaven's sake could I forget
That you found someone new
I hope to God you're haunted by this, too
Threw your arms around me way too fast
(What did it really mean?)
And questioned if I thought it all would last
(Will it all last?)
Blocking out our future with my past
If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask?
It still haunts me
You haunt me
You haunt me
