come on closer
hear the words stumbling
out of my tied tongue
i sleep on clouds
and strangled myself for fun
it might take me months
to say this, but
i wanted to love someone like you
i wasn’t worthy
but i can be worthy now, i can try to be
i will stay if you promise you’ll never leave
promise me that you won’t fall in love again
that i’m the deep ocean and you’ll be drowning
that i’m full of flaws and jealousy
that i’m a failure and a fool
that everyone leaves in the end
but i can be loved by someone as good as you.
