Liking Sad People

When missing something makes you too sad to want it

And you’d rather hate yourself than fix the problem

You’ve convinced yourself that you can’t fix the problem

It won’t last, but it’s a blast of ice while it’s here

Made me cry because you missed me

Had to scream because you wanted me to put you first

Now you’re gone, you left me here on purpose

Pick yourself up a week or so too late

Get excited cause it’s easier than hate

Feel my heart burst and forget what came before

At least pretend that I forget what came before

But the darkness is just dormant in our heads

I think I like sad people

Until I see them low

I just want to hold them

But if I get nothing back

Then I wanna give up and go

Wait it out, it only visits

When you’re getting used to something light and stable

When you’re expecting the good, then life’s a fable

But I know you’re not trying to bring me down

I’m a feature in your story

A thing to analyse for what I gave

A meat sack for the little life you saved

And a casualty of the fuckery in your head

But let’s focus on the love we had instead

Feel my heart burst and forget what came before

At least pretend that I forget what came before

But resentment builds the fastest when ignored

I think I like sad people

Until I see them down

I just want to hold them

But if that won’t help

Then it’s useless to be around

I think I like sad people

Until I see them low

I want to squeeze the love back into them

But they’re awfully unsquishy

I would rage quit, but I can’t go

I can’t do shit, but I can’t go

When you wake up, maybe you’ll know

Hope you noticed, I didn’t go

Have I been promoted in your show?

Want to love you, but I should go
