People die everyday
Standing in their acid rain
Rain pours
Still flowers bloom
Yeah, you sit alone up in your room
As you write your poetry
I’ll tap my toes to keep the beat
Cuz love is love
Through and through
Whether sunny skies
Or midnight blue
Love is love
Through and through
A part of me's
A part of you
Filling up our grocery carts
I call it love
You swear it’s art
Half the world’s tucked in bed
On my chest come rest your head
Horror movie marathons
On the couch until dawn
Cuz love is love
Through and through
Whether sunny skies
Or midnight blue
Love is love
Through and through
A part of me's
A part of you
I cried and cried
Cuz you die first
This love, our blessing
Now’s my curse
Love is love
Through and through
They bury me
Beside you

My mom says I’m looking better
My friends say that I seem swell
My shrink thinks I’m improving
At least for someone who went through hell
I threw out all my paintings
Cuz they only made me blue
Now I’m painting different boys
And not a single one even looks like you
So baby, baby
Don’t beat yourself up
Please
I swear I’m just as happy as can be
No more of your silly games
And my mind no longer chants your name
And baby, baby, please, my baby
Just one more thing
Don’t believe a word I say
Don’t believe a word I say
Don’t believe a single goddamn word I say
I miss you everyday
I sleep so sound without you
I can barely remember your voice
I eat breakfast with my sisters
And never, ever wonder if I made the right choice
So baby, baby
Don’t beat yourself up
Please
I swear I’m just as happy as can be
No more of your silly games
And my mind no longer chants your name
And baby, baby, please, my baby
Just one more thing
Don’t believe a word I say
Don’t believe a word I say
Don’t believe a single goddamn word I say
I miss you everyday
I don’t write your name in the margins anymore
Your clothes no longer litter my bedroom floor
I haven't dreamed about you in quite some time
And when my dad asks I say I’m doing just fine
So baby, baby
Don’t beat yourself up
Please
I swear I’m just as happy as can be
No more of your silly games
And my mind no longer chants your name
And baby, baby, please, my baby
Just one more thing
Don’t believe a word I say
Don’t believe a word I say
Don’t believe a single goddamn word I say
I miss you everyday

You killed me on your birthday took all summer to dig my grave
And on the first of August put my casket on the train
Hannah picked me up I cried the whole way back home
My parents outta town I spend my first night all alone
Six months like a century a year a whole lifetime
And somehow I'm still desperate to proudly call you mine
Do you still live in the city just a block from the L
Does it feel the same without me
Cuz down here it has been hell
I keep, I keep telling myself
We haven't closed the door
I keep telling myself
I'm just a child
Of twenty four
I missed you most in February missed having my valentine
I missed you all through the spring into the summertime
Was hoping the sea might cure my dark blue brain
Instead it just made me feel so small I went insane
Do you still have that job you hate and friends you pretend to love
Do you still wear those pitch black jeans that fit you like a glove
I keep I keep telling myself
That we haven't closed the door
I keep telling myself
I'm just a child
Of twenty four
Time to go to bed take my clothes off cut the lights
I say a quiet prayer for no dreams of you tonight
I hope one day I wake up
With a mind all clear of you
I hope one day I grow up
And I hope that you do too
One day I'll be an adult
At least that's what I'm told
But for now I'm just a child
Twenty four years old

Cicadas scream your name
Mind goes up in flames
Doctors change my meds
Fire starts to spread
Buzz off all my hair
Mosquitos in the air
Can't stop getting high
And kissing stupid guys
Staring in the mirror
It couldn't be much clearer
Depression, my only friend
I swear I'll never love again
Cuz baby can’t you see
I’m the only one for me
I’m the only one for me
Baby, can’t you see
I’m the only one for me

The way you text and drive is so goddamn reckless
The way I get all hot when you straighten my necklace
Cuz my brain perceives all the silliest things
As confessions of love and wedding rings
But I promised myself I would not go blind
Cuz I know it ain’t more than just you being kind
But now I'm a mess in your passenger seat
Confessing my love in the hot July heat
I was scared this might happen how could it not?
You're so beautiful and sweet
To all the boys you’ve caught
In your web of perfectly crafted goodwill
Right when they the think they’re at the top of your hill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
I beg for a call from a boy who hates the phone
My friends are all drunk
I don’t want to be all alone
He distracts me with tales of his brand new world
Of expensive meals and all the vapid girls
I tell him thanks for easing my brain
For making me feel like I’m not so insane
For he knows just what it’s like to be me
But he's escaped out west and now is finally free
I was scared this might happen how could it not?
You're so beautiful and sweet
To all the boys you’ve caught
In your web of perfectly crafted goodwill
And right when they the think they’re at the top of your hill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
I wish your company wasn’t my favorite thing
I wish I didn’t love the pain from your sharp little fangs
I wish each of your eight legs weren’t so fun to watch dance
I wish your web didn’t feel just like holding hands
I wish your company wasn’t my favorite thing
I wish I didn’t love the pain from your sharp little fangs
I wish each of your eight legs weren’t so fun to watch dance
I wish your web didn’t feel just like holding hands
I was scared this might happen, I mean how could it not?
You're so beautiful and sweet
To all the boys you’ve caught
In your web of perfectly crafted goodwill
And right when they the think they’re at the top of your hill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
I was scared this might happen, I mean how could it not?
You're so beautiful and sweet
To all the boys you’ve caught
In your web of perfectly crafted goodwill
And right when they the think they’re at the top of your hill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
That’s when the spider
Goes in for the kill
