Easily Erased

I still see you when I close my eyes
I can’t even know peace when you’re not near me
How some things never change
All of this time and I still can’t keep the pace

Will you break all of the promises that you made
For you it should be easy to erase
My love for you
The accidental absolute

What part of: I can’t take it, do you not understand?
I’d rather never hold it than have it leave my hand
All of these nights that you visit me
But I still don’t have your company

Every life lived a thousand times still ends in goodbye
All the fucking years I’ve lost
My eyes are dry for the first time in my life

Will you break all of the promises that you made
For you it should be easy to erase
My love for you
The accidental absolute
How much longer
Until I feel better

Most days I wish I never met you
Because then I could sleep at night
And I wouldn't have to walk around with the knowledge
That there was someone like you out there

Old loves lost but never gone
The things that we won’t be and the places we won’t see
They no longer haunt me

Holding a loaded gun to my love
Your hands are covered in the blood
Of the weak and the willing
