O my love, get out of my sight

No matter where you’re always there to flash before my eyes

I try to make your bed somewhere outside my head

And let you go but we both know you’ll find a way back in

We lay behind the scenes‚ steady as the score

The picture fakes reciprocation - so hard to ignore

I wonder if we meet‚ I wonder what I meant

You say goodbye‚ you stay, you’re mine

For I am the limerent

O, how would I let you know

You’re where I’ve made my home

When I don’t wanna live here anymore?

I used to stay awake at night to watch you sleep

That one night you caught me you became afraid of me

You would hear me crying when I’d think about you leaving

You and I were dead before we’d finally rest in peace

I think I’m psycho when I cycle through the days

We used to hang out stoned and lazy

Bang and drive each other crazy

How come you still live inside my psyche on the daily?

I get to the point where I invite it - I’m a maniac

Not to mention all my talk of how I meant to be

What the hell was that? I must be big demented mentally

Never kept it centipede - never told you anything

I just hung my story overhead like it was rent to me

I don’t blame you leaving - could you leave my brain alone?

Every time you check on me‚ I love it, but I hate it though

Say that I’m okay but I can’t tell you that I stay with you

Can’t get rid of you, but I’m ready to

O‚ how would I let you know

You’re where I’ve made my home

When I don’t wanna live here anymore?

I take care of you now
