I wanted to be wanted
I wanted to be loved, it’s true
I wanted to be burned
A bright fire dancing through the black
I wanted to be haunted
I wanted to be used by you
I hope you’d be the message
To traverse the void and never take me back
I needed you to be the one to hurt me
I needed you to be the one to know
In hope you could be the one to fix me
To put my pieces together just long enough to fail
I needed you to be the one to hold me
So you could be the one to let me go
I needed you to have my heart
Beating, blood on your fingers while I turn deathly pail
I can live with your hatred
I can live here in the silence
I can live in the darkness
In the windowless backrooms I’ll remain
I can live with the bruises
I can live without the violence
Being the one you don’t speak of
Knowing I’d do it over and over again
