Staring at the situation
From across the worn, wood table
You draw me in to shut me out
Crossed-out lines and self-help favors
I despise that I can't hate you
So I cover it up with anger
Melodies that linger
On your tongue and on my fingers
You were nothing new
I knew nothing still
Learning never came so easily
To me
I'm starved of meaningful interactions
Ever since you rearranged my spine
I can't stand for unmotivated speeches
If I'm truly speaking clearly
I miss you dearly
They say I'm full of potential energy
But I'm wasting my potential
And my only excuse is confidential
But hear me out so it's less painful
You were nothing new
But I knew nothing still
I'm starved of meaningless interactions
Thinking of nothing leaves no room for her
I won't leave your door until you
Let me say that I mean this
If I'm truly speaking clearly
I miss you dearly
You don't even know
Just what it is you're looking for
Sometimes it takes a lot to fall
And sometimes, it's right in front of you
It's right in front of you
I'm starved of meaningless interactions
Feeling nothing leaves no room for her
I left your door before I had a chance to say
Oh well, I forgot it anyway
I miss you dearly
(They say I'm full of potential energy
But I'm wasting my potential)
