Wide Eyes - Young and Heartless

I tried to do the best for you, I grew a greater sense of knowing what to say

while you were packing all of your things and moving on

I didn’t want to be the one who had the issues with moving on

And you said «How pathetic could you be now?»

I guess I’ll never know

Your mind is a book I’ve never read, too busy writing down the words that

didn’t stick

I swallowed ink and now I can’t remember what I loved in the first place;

Just old art and bad poetry.

I grew tired of sounding more creative than I was

just for me

You read my mind, were so impressed, so mindful of the old pages,

so intent on the rest

Just move on without me

Your mind is a book I’ve never read, too busy writing down the words that

didn’t stick

I swallowed ink and now I can’t remember what I loved in the first place

Just move on without me

No sunlight, no warm beds, no phone calls home, no life to miss

You say I should get some rest, you know me better than I know myself

I lie awake, eyes wide, I hate this body that I have become
