old old old

like trying to make an impact in cement.

you made a mistake when you let me go
time will show you that
standing on the sidewalk with my empty hands she let go
he'll let go too
standing on the sidewalk with your empty hands
waiting and waiting like a stoplight loves the headlights
nobody left who cares
the city goes by and you stand still
like cement but never lasting
a demoliton team to take down your esteem
like a stoplight loves the headlights

feels like sometimes you meet people in your life
only to push them out of it
and keep the lesson that you learned
from the heartbreak that you earned
never anything more
you wear your heart on your sleeve and you never have your shirt on
its always on a floor
i know we're only human and you make mistakes
but nobody makes them better

i got an attatchment problem
i promise sometimes i still think of you
but not in the way you want
i wake up and it's still me, still my hands
reaching for the alarm clock
reaching for a reason to not hit snooze
you gotta get under someone's skin before you can get inside their mind
i wanna be in someone elses body so that you'll let me touch you the way i want to
not just under your skin
