your eyes were green.
your arm was red.
the summer left you scarred.
and so now you stay in bed.
you played guitar.
and you took me away.
to that ocean you saved me.
but i came back to say.
that i don’t know why.
i can’t tell you the day.
but i lost sight of you.
and we lost our way.
i’m glad you’re happy.
that she really is yours.
i was sad to hear.
that she made you a cure.
for the love of your life.
the dream of california.
the heartache you felt.
i didn’t try to warn you.
but shut it out now.
hold on to what you got.
she’ll make you happy.
the way i could not.
simplicity is key.
and i am not that girl.
that would let you sit around.
while i’m changing the world.
i saw someone today.
he smiled like you.
i gave him a kiss.
and pretended he was you.
i should get over this.
and you know that it’s true.
you’ve ‘moved on.’
but it’s not me. it’s you.
that still thinks of love.
the way it could be.
i gave up on it.
but you still think it’s in me.
your eyes were green.
your face turned red.
the summer left me scarred.
you can’t save the dead.
