stuffing the bread into my mouthÂ
like itâll stop me from askingÂ
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
Iâve been feeding on scraps from my bedroomÂ
hiding it away from your prying eyesÂ
hoping to get through it allÂ
before Iâm sitting on the bathroom floorÂ
tried to keep myself safeÂ
now Iâm shaking over the toilet seat Â
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
you didnât even seem fazedÂ
when we spoke like it was the first time Â
why were your hands so stillÂ
when you took a handful of chipsÂ
you didnât even hesitate to eat your fillÂ
or maybe I took on everything you brokeÂ
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
Iâve been getting hunger painsÂ
since weâve said our goodbyesÂ
now itâs getting worseÂ
the longer I sit across from you
feeling everything I lackÂ
I canât help but be a little jadedÂ
when all I remember is the bathroom floorÂ
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
I see youâre eating againÂ
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
donât you remember the months
of toast and avocado and nothing else?Â
of empty parking lots and bathroom floors?Â
I canât bring myself to forget it allÂ
like youâve seemingly done this past yearÂ
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
I see youâre eating againÂ
taken the weakness from your bones
sucked it right from your poresÂ
till all I could hear is your voiceÂ
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
I see youâre eating againÂ
left some crumbs on the floorboardsÂ
with seats too heavy to leaveÂ
even as the itch burns my throatÂ
why arenât you asking about the bread?Â
I canât bring myself to say it firstÂ
hey, hi, howâve you beenÂ
I see youâre eating againÂ
