Dear

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 u watch

Oh the pain

I must have caused

But by staying around u

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 u 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 u 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 u shut me up

And challenged

every wrong perception

I've had of myself

And u haven't ever stopped
