RUNNER UP:

Im only getting by
As i count the days.
From when we parted ways.
I wish you felt the same.
To the ones when you come back
But let's look at the facts
Theres no hope in that.

I keep an album of you that i cant get rid of.
Cant just throw it away like you did me.
But i cant bring myself to look at it either.
If i ignore it maybe i can feel better.

I needed this.

I hope you see things clearly.
I needed this so dearly.
Back off and walk away so i can learn to grow again.
Beat this sadness im feeling.
Feels like im always healing.
You burnt the blueprints to what shouldve been a structured home.

I wrote some words down on your birthday.
Hoping youd get back to me.
I know its disappointing, You wont have much to say.
I wish youd followed through
And im so damn confused.
Spent the whole day thinking of you.
Been avoiding it these last few.

I needed this.

I hope you see things clearly.
I needed this so dearly.
Back off and walk away so i can learn to grow again.
Beat this sadness im feeling.
Feels like im always healing.
You burnt the blueprints to what shouldve been a structured home.

I know it always ends the same.
Im trying to move past and put this behind me.
But i wrote the words down on this page
With only one thing in mind:
You.

I hope you see things clearly.
I needed this so dearly.
Back off and walk away so i can learn to grow again.
Beat this sadness im feeling.
Feels like im always healing.
You burnt the blueprints to what shouldve been a structured home.
Turned back and ran away.
I guess i just needed you gone.
