Teeth - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I don't need you like you think I do, I just want you here tonight

I know it might sound crazy, but in my head it just don't feel right

I miss your bones buried beneath my sheets

My voice shakes when I try to speak

Your name is stitched into my teeth, and

Every time I talk, I feel you there

Every night, the floorboards creak outside my bedroom door

Eighteen months of losing sleep

Because your ghost has been pacing in the halls

I know they say, "Time heals all wounds"

But when will it heal mine?

'Cause I'm sick of waiting for you to bring me back my peace of mind

I still miss you like the moon misses the warm kiss of the sun

When the earth dances between them and steals away its love

I asked how long you'd be gone

And you said, "As long as it takes"

And I was always so impatient with our love

But I swore I'd wait

I'm tired of living in the fear

That one day you'll come back

And after all these years

I won't be able to look you in the face

And say, "I've let you go"

'Cause yours is the only love I've ever known

I'm tired of living in the fear ('Cause yours is the only love I've ever known)

That one day you'll come back

And after all these years

I won't be able to look you in the face ('Cause yours is the only love I've ever known)

And say "I've let you go"

'Cause yours is the only love I've ever known

'Cause yours is the only love I've ever known
