i stood in the corner in the dark and watched your dress slip. the way the other boys watched you and just wanted to touch your lips. when the song came on it was the way that you swung your hips. walked right up to me said boy you're the one i missed.
so far it's just a foundation and a frame. i tried to build this for you but now it's just to hide my fucking shame. a broken man, i'm just a crying boy. always living in the past.
and i heard you said everything was alright. i felt so guilty when i'd hear you crying yourself to sleep at night. i packed up my bags, i said my goodbyes. i'm so sorry for leaving but i knew you could no longer stand the sight....
of the man that i became, of a man whose age shows. cracks in my skin that measured up to nothing.
i'm just a ghost.
you said my mother still wakes up in the middle of the night, runs outside and calls out my name. i'll never come running back, it'll never be the same, because you changed.
