lover
i don’t want you to go
i cannot bask
in this cardboard coffin alone
and lately
i’ve been wondering “am i to blame”
as you’re gently twisting
my fingers
right over the flame
you know
it’s probably not your fault
you’re just
hatin’ on a summer
while licking on your pillar of salt
and i won’t let you hurt me
anymore
i won’t let you hurt me anymore
not no more
lover
i don’t need you to stay
i’ll be
kneeling out there
in my wilted garden all day
and when night falls
well i’m likely just to
shut it all down
and you can tell yourself
all the lies that have
kept me around
you know
it’s probably not your fault
you’re just
hatin’ on a summer
while licking on your pillar of salt
and you don’t get to hurt me
anymore
you don’t get to hurt me anymore
not no more
lover
i don’t want you to go
all the sweet terrors
we’ve shared
they will never know
