noah kahan on valentine’s day. was i in love?

for you i will never sink again.
i have grown to tell myself a lie
he is sleep when i need rest
i will never sink again
can you see how old my face is?
but i’m hollow
i’m scared to check the date
i act like it’s a choice
that i’m still single
you never asked once
you never asked why
i was drinking too much of that red wine
if i glued myself shut
you’d find your way in
i stare at the treeline and notice the leaves aren’t changing
let’s pretend we never met so i can disappear a moment
is there something keeping me here for the minute darling?
i am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
and love it comes and goes the big black dog he trails
along am i the only one who knows him
don’t leave me alone with all my thoughts
you’d understand my fear of everything inside
cloud head though i can’t find a single silver lining
it makes me sad
it takes me back
i break in half
it was sadly making sense
for you i hoped my parts would rearrange
you’d see a change
i’m spinning in circles but strayed out the lines
real life ain’t nothing but anger and doubt
i’m looking for answers lost in my head
now.
reach into the darkness.
