Come back to sleep
I already told you
You’re worrying me
Ruby as blood
I see your truth running deep
Leaves you guilty but free
When she’s not what you need her to be

Your eyes betray
Forbidden poems
Of words you won’t say
Like paint touched by water
We drip down the page
Hesitation persuades me
No one leaves this room the same

And I can see it all with a heart on fire
The way I loved you, the way I loved you
And when I become the someone you used to lie beside
I will fight to forget you were ever really mine
The only proof that I had you last night
Are the rope burns from holding too tight

You leave in your wake
College swim t-shirts
From a summer in Maine
And I wish I could hate you
But December’s a stain
And the light on your face
I’ll take the best of you with me to the grave

And I can see it all with a heart on fire
The way I loved you, the way I loved you
And when I become the someone you used to lie beside
I will fight to forget you were ever really mine
Just a side conversation, the stranger in the station
The space between the waking and the dream
The only proof that I had you last night
Are the rope burns from holding too tight
