i have to quit loving you so that i can get ahead

whenever i am alone with you

you make me feel like i am home again;

but it is an empty house

wherever we are, if we're together

then i feel like it's where i belong;

but i've never even left the house

i get so lonely sometimes

the head is static

thoughts are noise;

i get so drilled 

and buzzing

that i can't think of anything

but confusion

i'm never far away

i will always love you;

however, i'll never have you

i got to let go of this anchor

and i got to push the weight off

there's a sea in front of me

that i must swim through

and i can't have you

holding me down;

i'm sorry but

whenever i'm alone with you

you make me feel like i'm not myself

i don't want to be home anymore
