NO ONE EVER TOLD ME
I saw you in the window of my room
I saw you in the window of my room last night again
I screamed, "please don't go" at you
But those fragile bones still seemed to move so fast
I know it hurts to hear
But i’m just no god damn good, my dear
I promise you i would not lie
I die to live and live to die

No one ever told me what the words feel like
No one ever told me what the words feel like
When you're asleep in empathy
And i'm awake in entropy

I met you in the parking lot outside of the high school
Breathing in the fumes from cigarettes and trying to act cool
You asked me "do you hate yourself? i know tell you fit the part"
I said "self loathing? listen, just don’t even start"
Can't put into words the way that you intimidated me
Was fighting with a mirror over which side was the fakery
We shared our stories, showed our scars
Made that promise, crashed your car

No one ever told me what the words feel like
No one ever told me what the words feel like
When you're asleep inside a ditch
Passenger seat, i lie and twitch 'cause
No one ever told me what the words feel like
No one ever told me what the words feel like
I watched you die, spoke your name
But neither of us felt the same
