Could
We could've been amazing
We could've been close
We painted over each other's scars
We tried to stuff our gaping wounds with tears
We tried to resurrect the hopeless
And we became hopeless
And we would take a bullet for each other
But wouldn't have taken a break
Taken a breath of air
I tried to protect you
But I was preoccupied hating myself
