lyrics -

my first mistake
was thinking you needed
somebody to take the wheel, hold the reins, a parachute
on the runway

i miss your mother
i miss the way that she’d ruffle your hair
but you didn’t understand
why we’d bonded over
being in the background and holding your hand

that’s all i am built to do
you wanted more than what i
can give to you

i don’t forgive you now
you keep a skeleton in your closet of who you were
and i can’t sit and watch you burn
i’d dive under trains for you
pull out my hair for you all of the time

you are a ghost now, a thing of the past
lonelier now but it never could last
see your face in a mirror
it’s starting to crack

was it worth it?
look at the state of you
hungry for blood
never enough
hold out your arms

cos i don’t forgive you now
you keep a skeleton in your closet of who you were
and i can’t sit and watch you burn
i’d dive under trains for you
pull out my hair for you all of the time
all of the time
