Worst Wishes

Feel the dirt, fight the ground I tread

I am a curse, I guess I've always slept better in an empty bed

I skipped states to stay sane, and though it lead me through

Northeast 15th couldn't keep me from loving you

I tried running away to rid myself of the shame

Ended with nothing but holes in my jeans

Hang me in the closet with the rest of your outgrown things

And find another selfish lover and hold them close

Find another better suited to cover your bones

And I, I wish you weren't here

Wish you weren't here

I wish you weren't here

A thousand miles and I still feel you like the thorn in my side

Running from my problems never worked

But I'm still lengthening my stride

I hear your laugh from someone else, sometimes your name in passing

And after all the damage dealt

I just wish you weren't here

I am your worn-out clothes

You are the ache in my bones

I tried running away to rid myself of the shame

Ended with nothing but holes in my jeans

Hang me in the closet with the rest of your outgrown things

And find another selfish lover and hold them close

Find another better suited to cover your bones

And I saw you with my eyes closed

I heard you calling in a dream

And distance doesn't mean a thing

When I still see you in my sleep
