lyrics

I kept your pictures - On my phone
So when I felt my most alone
I thought I'd die - But at least I'd die
With you
And later when - You never called
My highest high - It was all I could
It was all I could - To stand and think of me
I couldn't think of me without you

There was more to life - Then I could see
Your every word gave life to me
My heart was closed - But I opened it
Again
I felt like God - I felt like death
When I felt your head - Upon my chest
I was already afraid - I was afraid of how
All of this might end

I built you up - so I could feel
At the first mistake - A real betrayal
I needed pain that I
Could trust
When all the pain I'd felt came out
Like waterfalls up from my mouth
I destroyed what I believed
I tried to think of me without you

And now I'm learning how to live
Without this pain that I am used to
