I'll always treasure the naivety

Of the past we've shared

Our bodies grew much faster than our minds

But together we got good at stopping time

My teen angst drove me to hurt myself

And I made you watch

Oh the pain I must have caused

But by staying around you saved my life (saved my life)

We were never meant to be lovers

Just fellow late bloomers

Who blossomed the part (2x)

Watching my parents

Made me look for something destructive

And there you were

With all the characteristics of my mom

Familiarity of home

The geographic gap let to forced adulthood

And your rage exposed

I'm glad we left things when we did

I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan

We were never meant to be lovers

We just mirrored each other's self destructiveness (self destructiveness)

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together

And we played our parts

And I wore an imaginary tv screen

So you never got to touch my heart

We were never meant to be lovers

Our egos fed of each other

And died overweight 2x

I thought I'd seen it all when u first walked in

But you shut me up

And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself

And you haven't ever stopped
