Guess it would be better with a nose break
Or maybe just a nosebleed
Better than this chest pain
Someone might believe me
Cause all I hear is brain noise
Think I need some head room
Even tried headspace
Can’t unsee your bedroom
And the guy you used to carpool
Home with for Christmas
Said you were the sweetest
God as his witness
But to me it feels like sleeping
And never really knowing
If you were drеaming at all
There’s a vacancy
In between your еyelids
When they close on me
Fingers round my windpipe
So I can’t say no
“No, I wasn’t dreaming at all”
“No, I wasn’t dreaming at all”
Kindergarten teacher
When she drove to see you
Did she feel my absence?
Did she ever notice?
I’ll ask if you stopped drinking
Guess “it’s not a problem”
Why’d you try to kiss me?
Crying on my birthday
And the book that I gave you
About airplanes and dying
Made you feel so heavy
But you broke me that night
So why do I feel guilty
For burning down the city
If you felt nothing at all?
There’s a vacancy
In between your eyelids
When they close on me
Fingers round my windpipe
So I can’t say no
“No, I wasn’t dreaming at all”
“No, I wasn’t dreaming at all”
There’s an angel now
Standing at the doorstep
You were just pretending!
I will say it so
“No, you didn’t hurt me at all!”
“No, you didn’t hurt me at all!”
“No, you didn’t hurt me”
Or maybe just a nosebleed
Better than this chest pain
Someone might believe me
Cause all I hear is brain noise
Think I need some head room

And the guy you used to carpool
