I guess it's true
There's a familiarity we run to
Run from and to at the same time
Back and forth till we tire ourselves out
And then blame the world for our pain
You see
You're the boy that took my heart
And bit it's pretty red flesh in two
Sylvia would be turning in her grave
I know it's a mistake
But my heart still desires only you
I will say I hate you out loud
Contradict myself
If you only knew
The fire you started in my blood only grew
And now I look for you
In everyone
Maybe I liked the way you said my name
Automatically, without thought, I look for it
In him, in her, in them
In everyone who claims to love me
But no one will love me the way you never did
It's a regret I aim to keep
So when he looks into my eyes
After that final relived sigh
When our breaths are slowing down
And he says he loves me
Do you know how you haunt me?
You, you weren't even worth a second look
But my love chased you for years
And I guess it's true
I will always try to get back, back, back to you.
