HOW DO I CARE ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE

HOW DO I CARE ABOUT SOMETHING THATS NOT YOU

WHEN YOU MAKE MY HEART BEAT

YOU PUSH AIR THROUGH MY LUNGS

YOU MAKE ME FUCKING LIVE

IM ALIVE WHEN YOU'RE ON MY MIND

POETRY'S BEAUTIFUL, BABY, BUT YOU'RE EVEN PRETTIER

AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT I'D FIND SOMEONE

BUT THAT SOMEONE TURNED INTO NO ONE WHEN I FOUND YOU

AND I JUST WANT YOU TO BE SAFE AND HAPPY FOREVER AND EVER

AND I WANT TO PROTECT YOU FROM ALL OF THE BAD SHIT IN THIS WORLD

BUT MY ARMS ARE TOO FUCKING SKINNY TO SHIELD YOU FROM THOSE BULLETS 

AND BELIEVE ME, I AM HURT FAR WORSE BY YOUR PAIN THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE

SOMEHOW, IN YOUR PRESENCE, MY TEARS GO FROM BURNING RED INTO MY SKIN TO WATERING FLOWERS, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 

AND HAVING A RICH FULL GARDEN IS SO SO MUCH BETTER

THAN THE GREY DUST AND WEEDS OF LONELINESS
