if you are cold
i'll be a thin coat around you
did you hear what i spoke
when i said that i loved you
do you love me too
but i am not safe
i am not healthy for you, for you
make no mistake
i will take what i can
& you will take what i give to you
i heard you were dead
i heard you had long left, anyways, anyways
you speak in the wind
yeah, you move in the coldness
i'm sure of it
did you mean what you said
when you said you got angry for me
i think i believed you then
i believed you then
there was a time you filled my glass
when i fell from the swings onto blades of grass
the feeling was needles as you passed underneath
in the name my parents chose for me
but i hate all this hatred on my tongue
it just burns into smoke that fills my lungs
wasn't it hatred when you hung like a thief
like me, for the guilt of all i've done
or haven't done
