For all the answers I will never hear, I will keep writing letters you'll never see, and for all the texts you will never read, phone calls, you never call, rain drops, that never fall, I will keep writing and writing, until I write myself happy.

My hearts suffocating. This isn’t the end. It’s destroying my soul. This isn’t the end . Was this always your goal? This isn’t the end.

I didnt fit into your 'realm', Your fantasy world, And I didnt even want to use or try a bong, Maybe I should have tried the spliff, Had a drink, Thinking now maybe we would have got along, Danced our dance, sang our song, But I didnt.
