I meant it not this way but the tears just flow and my makeup smearing
all the more, leaving behind that familiar filthy residue. I may have
begun to drive myself away, dragging you down as well. But it's done,

I'd breathe another breath without you. So come hither and quickly
soothe my dying heart, you are the only cure I know. I cry and cry
again, come hither to heal and love me. Come hither and help me dry my
tears.
