I can't be in your head
Tongue tied on words you said
Hours spent in your bed
I made your sheets smell bad
But you said the sheets smell good
You said the sheets smell good
Maybe it reminds you of home
Back when our needs weren't met
All we wanted was to be alone
Now I'm alone and it doesn't make sense
I'm the first to go when things get tense
And you bleed when you know me best
You said the sheets smell good
You said the sheets smell good
Like iron and pestilence
The bugs have become your friends
I look for a sign of slow
As I gaze on through your window
But your grip's fastened on your clothes
Your throne of perseverance
Has never been more picturesque
You said the sheets smell good
You weren't lying, I never thought you could
I could try I could go back to work
But my stubble's never been such a jerk
You told me it looked fine
Prying me from my mind
Crying constricts my chest
Breathing barely my best
My heaving wasn't the worst
I could have been there first
They tell me there was nothing they could do
My eyes were painted red and blue
The memory follows everywhere
In my bed, my clothes, especially my hair
You said the sheets smell good
You said the sheets smell good
