i'm feeling needy
but I shouldn't be
you've got a life
and a world
that's not supposed to revolve around me.
I keep willing my phone to ring,
aching for a mere vibration
to assure me you're still there.
it's clear you're not here,
but you shouldn't be anyway...
but my heart's crying out for you
even though it shouldn't weep
it's grateful for today
but can't help but ache for tomorrow
you don't scare me the way you used to
your words aren't a pathway to hell
but your eyes and the way you exhale every breath
give me a taste of brimstone and fire
but I shouldn't be
you've got a life
and a world
that's not supposed to revolve around me.
I keep willing my phone to ring,
aching for a mere vibration
to assure me you're still there.
it's clear you're not here,
but you shouldn't be anyway...
but my heart's crying out for you
even though it shouldn't weep
it's grateful for today
but can't help but ache for tomorrow
you don't scare me the way you used to
your words aren't a pathway to hell
but your eyes and the way you exhale every breath
give me a taste of brimstone and fire
