Worst Wishes

Feel the dirt, fight the ground I tread
 I am a curse, I guess I've always slept better in an empty bed
 I skipped states to stay sane, and though it lead me through
 Northeast 15th couldn't keep me from loving you
 I tried running away to rid myself of the shame
 Ended with nothing but holes in my jeans
 Hang me in the closet with the rest of your outgrown things
 And find another selfish lover and hold them close
 Find another better suited to cover your bones
 And I, I wish you weren't here, wish you weren't here
 I wish you weren't here
 A thousand miles and I still feel you like the thorn in my side
 Running from my problems never worked but I'm still lengthening my stride
 I hear your laugh from someone else, sometimes your name in passing
 And after all the damage dealt I just wish you weren't here
 I am your worn-out clothes
 You are the ache in my bones
 I tried running away to rid myself of the shame
 Ended with nothing but holes in my jeans
 Hang me in the closet with the rest of your outgrown things
 And find another selfish lover and hold them close
 Find another better suited to cover your bones
 And I saw you with my eyes closed
 I heard you calling in a dream
 And distance doesn't mean a thing
 When I still see you in my sleep
