Abandonment issues put you in some really strange situations. I was clinging onto strands of love from a million different places. They all kind of broke at the same time, and while that was terrifying and painful, it was what I needed.
[Chorus]
Kiss me again and tell me you love me
I know it's a lie
I don't care about the pain
I've felt it before
I call it my sister
I call it my brother
It's all too familiar
[Verse 1]
Please take me back
I'm too afraid of change
I think that you've altered
Chemicals in my brain
I can't forget you
It's like you're tattooed on my mind
[Verse 2]
If you can't be mine
I'll still be yours
I don't care if you use me
At least I'll feel love
I've never felt it before
I'll be your backup
I'll be your fallback
It's all too familiar
[Verse 3]
Please just don't leave me I'm afraid to be alone
No matter what you say
Can't bring myself to walk away
I can't dismiss you
I think of you all the time
[Bridge]
Oh, would it be better
To pretend I don't need you
Would I be more lovable
If I let you do what you want to
You can leave me
Once you have drained me
You won't be the first
And never the last
[Chorus]
Kiss me again and tell me you loved me
I know it's a lie
I don't care about the pain
I've felt it before
I call it my sister
I call it my brother
You're all too familiar
