i felt you escaping me even when i held you close
seeping through my hands, burning like nitrous gas
i tried to keep us glued together as long as possible
but you were so damned determined to break

i finally gave in when you drew back your heart
i realized i cant win everything no matter what i try
so i pulled out my roots and migrated northbound
but dont think i didn't look over my shoulder a few times

i wonder if all the loves i had resulted in a similar way
friends filling our minds with lies to provoke our separate paths
peeling a make believe layer of poison ivy
in reality it was only scratching at an innocent skin
