Linger

It cost me all my worth

To slouch and collapse into

The curve in your backbone

Cut loose the stitches that your hands sewed

Now I'm not in the mood

To dance with my demons

I'd rather sleep with them

Cause you don't love me like they do

Did you get what you needed from me?

Filling your shallow left me so empty

I'm blocking you out

But I can't ignore

The price i paid

and the way it felt

But I'm not a surface

For you to self reflect off

And learn your style of attachment

So I'll just linger

On and on about how fucked my head is

Yeah I'm still thinking on it

But the cadence of your name doesn't carry a weight

Did you get what you needed from me?

Filling your shallow left me so empty

I'm blocking you out

But I can't ignore

The price i paid

and the way it felt

I'd self reflect but

I can't stomach the taste

Of my empty gaze

Staring right back between the smile lines on my cheeks

I can't face me

Yeah I'm still thinking on you

But that doesn't mean I'll stay stuck

Dug in a rut

Still linger on and on

About the ways you knew me all wrong

Yeah I got the message

But I missed the point in the past tense

Still can't listen to "Nerve"

Without thinking about who broke who first

Yeah I got the message

But I missed the point in the past tense

Still can't listen to "Nerve"

Without thinking about who broke who first
