Teeth

I don’t need you like you think I do

I just want you here tonight

I know this might sound crazy but my head it just don’t feel right

I miss your bones buried beneath my sheets

My voice shakes when I try to speak

Your name is stitched into my teeth

And every time I talk I feel you there

Every night the floorboards creak outside my bedroom door

18 months of losing sleep

Because your host has been pacing in the halls

I know they say time heals all wounds but when will it heal mine?

‘Cause I’m sick of waiting for you

To bring me back my peace of mind

I still miss you like the moon misses the warm kiss of the sun

When the earth dances between them and steals away it’s love

I asked how long you’d be gone

And you said “as long as it takes”

And I was always so impatient with our love

But I swore I’d wait

I’m tired of living in the fear that one day you’ll come back

And after all these years

I won’t be able to look you in the face

And say “I’ve let you go”

‘Cause yours is the only love I’ve ever known
