ALL TOO WELL (10 MINUTE VERSION) SENTENCE STARTERS!!
I know I’m not super active on this blog but I made this for a group I’m in. Feel free to use/like/reblog for your own blogs!
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold, but something ‘bout it felt like home somehow
And I left my scarf there at your sister’s house, and you’ve still got it in your drawer, even now
We’re singing in the car, getting lost upstate
And I know it’s long gone and that magic’s not here no more
And I might be okay, but I’m not fine at all
'Cause there we are again on that little town street you almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin’ over at me
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me
Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town
And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now, he’s gonna say it’s love, you never called it what it was
We were dead and gone and buried
Check the pulse and come back swearing it’s the same
After three months in the grave
And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you
All I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
And I know it’s long gone and there was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to
We’re dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
I remember it all too well
And there we are again when nobody had to know
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
Sacred prayer and we’d swear to remember it all too well
Well, maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece ‘til you tore it all up
And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
They say all’s well that ends well, but I’m in a new Hell
The idea you had of me, who was she?
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come
It’s supposed to be fun turning twenty-one
Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by it
I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week ‘cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you’ve ever known
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too?
'Cause in this city’s barren cold I still remember the first fall of snow
Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?
