I'll always treasure
The naivety
Of the past we've shared
Our bodies grew much
Faster than our minds
But together we got good
At stopping time
My teen angst drove me
To hurt myself
And I made you watch
Oh the pain
I must have caused
But by staying around you
Saved my life
(Saved my life)
We were never meant to be lovers
Just fellow late bloomers
Who blossomed the part
Watching my parents
Made me look
For something destructive
And there you were
With all
The characteristics of my mom
Familiarity of home
The geographic gap
Let to forced adulthood
And your rage exposed
I'm glad
We left things when we did
I doubt I'd survive
Another bloody moan
We were never meant to be lovers
We just mirrored each other's
Self destructiveness
(Self destructiveness)
The spotlight burned in the room
When we were together
And we played our parts
And I wore an imaginary TV screen
So you never got to touch my heart
We were never meant to be lovers
Our egos fed of each other
And died overweight
I thought I'd seen it all
When you first walked in
But you shut me up
And challenged
Every wrong perception
I've had of myself
And you haven't ever stopped
