Sometimes knowing you’d be proud of me isn’t enough
I wanna melt into ur love and drink it up
I don’t wanna look at pictures of you in a frame
I wanna hear the your voice wrap its arms around my name
I don’t want strangers telling me stories about you
I want my mama to be my mama
Not a memory and a muse
Most people mean well but they don’t know what to say
dont ask me about my family don't ask if im okay
I dont want her to remind you that life can be short
Id rather have her hanging on than have her be so far
Some days sadness is a drug that I can take to be with you
Bring myself back to the room where I gripped your hand but you still flew
Out of your body and somewhere that I couldn’t reach you
Sometimes I wish love would stay brand new
I don’t want crying or lying
Or me hurting you
sometimes it doesnt feel like i've got what i need to push through
I want my lover to stay my lover not a reminder of me losing you
Some days sadness is a drug that I can take to be with you
Bring myself back to the room where I gripped your hand but you still flew
Out of your body and somewhere I couldn’t reach you
Out of your body and somewhere I couldn’t reach you
Out of your body and somewhere I couldn’t reach you

I remember when your clothes stopped smelling like you
Locked myself in your closet to capture the fumes
But no matter how hard I tried it was no use
Molecules change and your perfume left too
I would hold onto every note that you wrote
i cant even read them, your scribbles a joke
but its all that i have and all that i know
to prove you were real
if i could meet you know would i
be the type of person you'd like
if i let you into my life
would you be proud of me
would you be proud of me

i don't hate you

I don’t think of you much just everytime i see someone
I know you’d think was prettier than me
And I don’t miss you very much, I’ve got a new love I can trust
But when I feel bad about myself I crave your company
And it’s sad that the happiness gets overshadowed by
The stains of pain like coffee on my teeth, Sand in eyes
My brains not sure how to sit in neurality
I don’t hate you but i wish i did that would be easy
i don't hate but that would make this easy

Life doesn’t slow down
im just getting better at letting it pass by
The cramps doubled over in the grocery store
The glimmer of yearning in a strangers eye
And I’m skipping all of mardi gras this year
Seeing you in a costume with your hand around a beer
would be too much for me to bear
Love doesn’t get easier
I’m just more accustomed to being in pain
the glimpse over your shoulder and how you might know her
Doesn’t stay stuck in my brain
And I’m skipping all the parts where I don’t say
That I love you even tho it’s only been 60 days
My mother died in her 4th decade
I’m not letting my big stupid heart go to waste
I’m screaming the truth that I think I know
I’m letting people love me that help me grow
I’m gonna keep being soft even when my heart hits the floor
I’m not afraid of pain anymore
