i chased you
in a toxic bid to feel better
i chased you
but to you
i was just an escape route
a getaway driver
a one way ticket
when i had counted on a return journey
and that’s how you left me
once you’d got what you needed
where you wanted
in those muggy streets
that, oh, should’ve been mine
alone
you rode my high
let my waves carry you
further than you’d ever been
don’t chase after things you don’t need
in hopes you’ll feel something you don’t want to feel
because i guarantee you
you will.
