The end of me

It's a brand-new world you've been born into

a world of wonder

a world of pain

and uncertainty

But this is what you wanted

this is what you needed

maybe it's not too late, you said

to start over

Before she left town

that girl said

she couldn't do it

couldn't make it

You said you could

make up the difference

spread your legs

I'll do the rest

But she was waging a different war

and she needed to get back home

she could see you crying

in her rearview mirror

Little did she know

she took a part of you that day

the most important part

still beating in the passenger seat

You'll never see her again

because she saw that thing in you

that thing that you know

no one should ever see

Most days I pray

just to make it back to my bed

so I can hold her in my dreams

so I can kiss her on the mouth

on her neck, down her back

so I can smell her hair

and taste her skin

run my hands down her thighs

run my tongue along her teeth

make love to her with my words

my eyes closed

she's turned away

she's running away

I can feel her turning

she opens her eyes

and she's crying

because I wasn't

what she expected

I wasn't the man she wanted

to wake up to

The end of me

I've seen it

it's in your eyes, dear

Every night I die

alone in my bed

wanting so much

and fearing nothing at all

but the day she finally

opens her eyes.
