The One That Gets Away

Pushing me away harder than a revolving door It has been 2 years but we still thirst for more You make me feel desperate and that's just not me I'd give anything to mean it when I say I'll leave it be I'm angry at myself for knocking on your door Should of known you'd slam it in my face like before I keep trying to make all this make sense But all I'm ever left with is you on the fence Trying to pry myself from you but I've grown so tired You said you refuse to loose me guess this makes you a liar I'm so ing sad, are you even sad at all? We always shoot off like a rocket then I'm left to watch ashes fall I don't wanna say goodbye again because this time it's forever Forgetting you has been such a grueling endeavor Second chance biggest regret but you still don't care Because you assume that I'll always be there All you've really ever done is prove me wrong But I'm still thinking of you playing all the sad songs Assuming you'll realize what you're about to lose All these dangerous thoughts that I continue to amuse Don't you know I could help pull you out of that place? My soul it aches and aches and aches It seems you've forgotten me like a case of amnesia Truth buring in my chest like acid with no magnesia They say that ex's are ex's for a reason But somehow it feels like this is different When we approach we always intertwine like English ivy All I have left is you know where to find me I know I shouldn't end my writing like this But I'm deaf to my counsious so I carelessly take risks...
