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
