lyrics

I was your armor
But you disappeared
And yes I woulda loved for you to stay
You were never there
I persisted
You insisted you weren't made for me
So close, you had to be free
I blinked and you fled the scene
I just looked up, you were gone
It's so wrong because

I can't
It's criminal, I just can't get over you lately
But I'm tryin to, baby
I want to but I can't
It's criminal, I just can't get over you lately
But I'm tryin to, baby
Forgive me, but I

Where are you now?
Can we pretend this never happened
You're a rorschach spot in my mind
All black and white, it's a sign
I see the sleight in your red right hand (tap tap and thumbs out)
Through the cracks
Your precognition is lackin
Although, it's such a secretive war
And I want to but

We could have been so perfect
You and I
We could have been so perfect
So tell me why
I sheltered you from the dark
Nothing could keep us apart
It was perfect
I was so deep in a love
Close as the blood
It was perfect
Perfect
