What I’m Calling Home These Days

It’s been a couple of years now,
Since I’ve left your house in the cold.
Walking aimlessly back toward home,
Or what I’m calling home these days.
It was a mere 28 degrees,
And the cool winter breeze,
Cut through my T-shirt and jeans like wet paper,
But I couldn’t stand to face her,
For another second longer.

I can’t breathe when I’m around you,
But I can’t find the nerve to breathe when I’m without you,
So I’ll stay cold.
I’ll stay cold.
My hands they shake, my lips blue, cold.

When the moments begin to mesh together,
And we have finally come to realize that we’ve lost each other,
You did this.
You know it.

With the words so close,
To the tip of my tongue,
But the choke in my throat,
Won’t let me have any fun,
My mouth is pleading,
Stop me from breathing.
And if you speak another word of her name or love again,
I swear to god I’ll end you.

It’s been a couple of years now,
Since I’ve left your house in the cold.
Walking aimlessly back toward home,
Or what I’m calling home these days.

I can’t breathe when I’m around you,
But I can’t find the nerve to breathe when I’m without you,
So I’ll stay cold.
I’ll stay cold.
My hands they shake, my lips blue, cold.
