lyrics

I love you more than you’ll ever love me
I know
It’s ok, but there is something
You should know

And if I have become a monster in your eyes
Maybe you should have stopped and asked yourself why
But you don’t know

I tried to tell him no
Said I had to go
But he had me alone
Took away my phone

I need you but you’ve never needed me
And I’m sorry I’ve needed you unequally
But you should know that I still need you every day
It didn’t change, just because you went away
And you don’t know

I tried to tell him no
Said I had to go
But he had me alone
Took away my phone

I live those moments again and again
My life was out of my hands but I tried to pretend
That at any moment that it would be over
and I could just pretend that it had never happened
Now I’m alone when I need you the most
His face is haunting all of my dreams like a ghost
And I am so angry at him and myself
and the world and at you for leaving me alone

All alone, no one knows
You’re the one I would have told
