Dear _____________, Love, Me

i could swear that I don't care
but you know that I can't lie to you
and I'll swear up and down that you won't hear
but I really hope you do
and I'll pretend these lines don't mean shit and swear
that you won't care...
but I really hope you do
it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you

I've made myself this hospital bed
out of your memories and words you said
it's falling apart and half a mess
but that's ok because I am too
I've made myself this I.V. drip
out of nicotine and the words you skipped
it's running out and such a mess
but that's ok because I am too

the stories here are the same
you can find them anywhere
I've copied the words from the back of your hands
and the ones you liked to say to me
but it's all the same, as you can see
I've just put your name in the space that's blank
It's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you

I've made myself this hospital bed
out of your memories and words you said
it's falling apart and half a mess
but that's ok, because I am too
I've made myself this I.V. drip
out of nicotine and the words you skipped
it's running out, and such a mess
but that's ok, because I am too

i know you know how this feels
because I did the same to you
so this song is just as much for you to sing
as it is about all the things you did
it's just as much for you to curse
as it about the way your lips pursed
right before all the nights we never kissed
it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you

I've made myself this hospital bed
out of your memories and words you said
it's falling apart and half a mess
but that's ok, because I am too
I've made myself this I.V. drip
out of nicotine and the words you skipped
it's running out, and such a mess
but that's ok, because I am too

i made myself this dependence
out of the things you did and the way you danced
it's going strong, it's hurting less
but that's not ok, because I'm not blessed with you
I've made myself this way to sleep
out of benadryl and the things you keep
to yourself, well it's been a week
and that's not ok, because I'm not asleep with you

it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you
it's not ok, nothing hurts like the things you say
it's nothing new, because nothing hurts like you
and I'll pretend these lines don't mean shit and swear
that you won't care...
but I really hope you do
it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you
