sanctified

We sit in silence

you twiddle your fingers and hide behind your hair

I try not to fight it

but this distance between us is choking the air

 Nobody is talking

theres nothing to say

our love never lasted 

but a part of me stayed 

 

We’re living as strangers

when we were so close

I’ve chosen the danger

of being your friend

but when I lie awake 

when I lie with other men

the others have gone

theres still no reason for me to move on

 

i cry in the morning

when everything feels wrong 

that there’s no one there

I’m trying to fill this hole

but Nothing compares

and you really saw me

though every mirror I’ve stared

 

And it’s something I’ve been trying to say

but nothing sounds the same

How much we use to talk

forcing words brought us pain

 but I don’t want to face

a life where we don’t talk

and now that we’re strangers

i hope you can see

that love really found us

and you needed me

just the same as I needed you
