You never left the back of my brain
Growing like a weed in the garden of my inner brain
And you make me remember
That this feeling inside of my chest never died
It's getting harder to sleep while you're still on my mind
Blocking memories and traumatizing words that you said
It's so comforting! A kakistocracy!
And after all this time I find it hard to believe
that I'm still on your mind
And your Richard Dawkins book is resting in your hands
And I'm amazed that you kept all those memories
The lyric sheet! The music box! The bear that I gave you!
Stumbling on words I never understood
Taking the time to thank those who wear
Their hearts on their sleeves like a soldier in battle
Have you had much sleep? Take a drag from your bottle
Do you miss me yet? Or do you miss this affection?
Your cough syrups run out, all that's left is withdrawal!
I felt insane, but now I'm growing up
Making friends that were once enemies
And enemies that were once friends
Count my blessings we don't even reside in the same state
And as a matter of fact, I was thinking of moving again
And I miss the way I felt, but I don't miss you
