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 apart ahh
Who blossomed apart
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
led to forced adulthood
And your rage exposed
I'm glad we left things
when we did
I doubt I'd survive another
bloody nose bloody nose
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 touch my heart
We were never meant
to be lovers
Our egos fed off each other
And died overweight
And died overweight
I thought I'd seen it all
when you first walked in
But you shut me up
And challenged
every wrong perception
I've had of myself
And you haven't ever stopped
