split wish

The man I thought you were

Still haunts me bad

Speaking soft, sat with intention

Kissed me gentle, asked me questions

Now I look for the best parts of you

In the worst parts of everyone else

I'm m still so mad that he wasn't real

I'm so mad I had to take him for myself

Someone thought I was the man I thought you were

The other night on the patio

Said that's not me, but I used to know him well

At least that's what I thought a long time ago

Splitting wishes

Missin messy

Mirror kisses

You're the devil on my shoulder

I'm the angel on yours

All I know is to be wicked

Was I ever really pure?

You said you'd put me in your pocket

Think you'd run me through the wash

I'd be entirely forgotten

Just another building block

In your tower of attention

And your misplaced big decisions

Married to your noncommitment

At the altar, did you leave it?

At the altar, did you leave it?

The girl I got to know

Still hurts me bad

I can't spend much time alone

Or all her words just keep pouring back

Now I put all the best parts of me

Into the worst parts of people like her

So when I'm thinking to myself

I've run out of all of my soft words

You're the devil on my shoulder

I'm the angel on yours

All I know is to be wicked

Was I ever really pure?
