Teeth

I don't need you like you think I do
I just want you here tonight
I know it 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 ghost 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 its 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

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
'Cause yours is the only love I've ever known
'Cause yours is the only love I've ever known
