lyrics

You were the most dear to me, once I found you, you became my new
skin for weeks.
I was attached and you were my most favorite possession.
You fit me best, I remember smiling scrubbing the coffee stain in your sleeve in the bathroom that one time.

Your scent was comforting to me, I'd close my eyes and breathe in, sometimes fall asleep.
I'd stain you with sadness all my tears, the many times you've soaked them in under street lights;
While the cold winds ate away at my skin.

I don't remember exactly when I removed you from my sight.
Maybe I grew tired of the way you felt wrapped around me.

I was packing up for the end of the semester.
That's when I found you hung up and worn down.
It looked like not the time but a moth got the best of you.
And my heart sank as I ran my fingers through the hole in your chest.

So I closed my eyes, breathed in it smelled of cigarettes.
I worn you out and as I tossed you
I whispered, "thanks for never leaving me."
