Wreck

I ruined you the best I could
I made sure to ruin you in a way that only you and I would comprehend
I gave us something to share when we were over

cunning heart, cunning mind
I tried to cut with what I said
engrave into the mind what I couldn't to the heart

I ruined you, the same way that I was when I was younger
I ruined you so I wouldn’t be alone

As much as you hated me in the end
I knew that you would understand

You always understood
