On The Walls

from Okay by Carlyle Laurent

/

lyrics

I feel delightful
if I end up sleeping
My glass is half full
even when it's sinking

I changed your name in my phone
to something harmless
But I feel like I
just made it less honest

And I don't break my word but I'd like
to, when it comes to you
And I won't let myself give in to
this, temptation to call you again

swore to forget you
and all the ways you wronged me
swore to stay in touch
and not think about what if baby

Maybe, these autumn leaves are fading
what if we can take this back and make it our new spring

My lungs are spent
so I know that I've been screaming
I can't stop singing this song
My throat keeps croaking

I wrote this pattern on the walls
The ink keeps fading till it falls

and I don't like the way this gets to
me, where it's all I can see
My finger hovers over your damn
Name, on my phone, till they all start to look the same
And I don't break my word but I'd like
to, when it comes to you
And I won't let myself give in to
this, temptation to call you again
