Somewhat Standards

She screamed, “I’ll live without you”
She screamed, “I’m all you need”
It’s one thing, to admit it’s not true…
But another thing completely, to consciously spread a disease

Breathe in, breathe in for me. Breathe in
Then we can stay up late and watch the sun set, softly
Breathe in, breathe life on me. Breathe in
Or you can lay in wait and watch my burning body

I screamed, “I just want the truth”
She screamed, “I’m the disease”
It’s one thing to hate everything about you…
But I doubt this hate will fill me, I believe I’ll end up on my knees

She said “I loved you, but it didn’t mean a thing to me.”
I guess I’ll bite my tongue, stop mumbling “I’m sorry…”
I watched her paint our city streets, lonely and spreading disease
