(Verse)
I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck
EDAC7
(Verse)
I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
