I'm Coping, Right?
I don't want your love songs
I don't want your melody tastes
Everything was a lie and now there's no music
Only silence and emptiness
I confessed to you one morning
Long after the sun had gone down
But long before it came up
That I hated the silence
That it was one of the only things I've ever feared
Because where you hear nothing I hear screams
And you cried with me and told me you believed
But you didn't, did you?
A part of my DNA that few have ever seen
And I showed it to a liar
We used to have the same Heaven
But when Heaven didn't call your name
You claimed it wasn't your Heaven anymore
You left our Heaven to find a new one
But see, my Heaven doesn't want me either
But I can't leave, I can't go find another one
Because when my Heaven tells me of my sins
And my Heaven tells me I don't deserve it
I believe
Belief, belief, belief
Just because you don't believe doesn't make you immune
The spirits still find you
And God stills casts down his wrath at you
You are still judged by the same rules
Justice is not your call, and it's decision is final
It doesn't matter if I leave
It doesn't matter if I ignore the demons
I will still be judged
And you
You gave me the most beautiful love songs
And you told me you believed
In me, in yourself, in us
But you lied, didn't you?
Now I can't listen to my favorite song
Because you sang it to me
And the song I was going to dace to at my wedding
Must be paused and silenced
Because I should have been dancing with you
I don't want your love songs
And I don't want your music tastes
But if I rid myself of them
Then I will only have that silence I fear so deeply
Because your songs became my favorites
When I still believed
