Teeth

I don’t need you like you think I do
I just want you here tonight
I know this might sound crazy but my head it just don’t feel right
I miss your bones buried beneath my sheets
My voice shakes when I try to speak
Your name is stitched into my teeth
And every time I talk I feel you there

Every night the floorboards creak outside my bedroom door
18 months of losing sleep
Because your host has been pacing in the halls
I know they say time heals all wounds but when will it heal mine?
‘Cause I’m sick of waiting for you
To bring me back my peace of mind

I still miss you like the moon misses the warm kiss of the sun
When the earth dances between them and steals away it’s love
I asked how long you’d be gone
And you said “as long as it takes”
And I was always so impatient with our love
But I swore I’d wait

I’m tired of living in the fear that one day you’ll come back
And after all these years
I won’t be able to look you in the face
And say “I’ve let you go”

‘Cause yours is the only love I’ve ever known
