Communication issues:
“Cause I never got to say”

Third person/ some obstacle in between:
“I don’t feel the need to know who you’re with”

“I know I’m not your only but at least I’m one”
“It’s 4 AM and I know that you’re with him/ I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin/ and if he feels my traces im your hair I’m sorry love but I don’t really care”
“I messed up & you’ll be fine”
“But I can’t touch what I see”

“But I can’t touch what I see”
“All of a sudden these lights are blinding me/I never noticed how bright they would be”

changing:
