Button Up Shirts

You never say you love me.
And I've said it once.
And I will forever, to everyone except to you.

With the correct backdrop of a song at night,
My worthless thoughts now seem so solemn.
Wake up and cry, from a nap I don't remember.

When you're not here your words are cold,
The things you say are so empty.
Do you really care about me?
Or do you care for what I do for you.

My face is worth nothing to me,
Is the rest of me worth anything to you?
Do we even know each other.

I can't feel my dreams around you,
Should I just dream about her instead?
I'll hang on for the time being,

I'll continue to lick your wounds,
And my own, once you're done.

Until you no longer have use for me,
Once I swim back up from this headlong dive,
And run back into my own open arms.

Wash myself clean from your smell.

I was too hasty, wasn't I.
