I'll always treasure the naivety

Of the past we've shared

Our bodies grew much faster than our minds

But together we got good at stopping time

My teen angst drove me to hurt myself

And I made you watch

Oh the pain I must have caused

But by staying around you saved my life (Saved my life)

We were never meant to be lovers

Just fellow late bloomers

Who blossomed apart

Who blossomed apart

Watching my parents

Made me look for something destructive

And there you were

With all the characteristics of my mom

Familiarity of home

The geographic gap led to forced adulthood

And your rage exposed

I'm glad we left things when we did

I doubt I'd survive another bloody nose (Bloody nose)

We were never meant to be lovers

We just mirrored each other's

Self-destructiveness

Self-destructiveness

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together

And we played our parts

And I wore an imaginary tv screen

So you never got to touch my heart (Touch my heart)

We were never meant to be lovers

Our egos fed off each other

And died overweight

And died overweight

I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in

But you shut me up

And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself

And you haven't ever stopped
