Spiraling

I unraveled to you at a huge loss.
it didn't take long to see 
how much that word vomit cost me.

Now I'm spiraling and I can't go back. 
I can't get my life back on track. 
where do we go from here?

I can listen to you all day long 
but when I try to say how I feel 
it goes all wrong. So I try to write 
it down in a song but the words are empty.

Now I'm spiraling and my words won't fill 
the empty space, and I feel so ill. I can't 
take back what I said, This is so unreal. 
I'm pretty sure I broke us.

So I'll just be here to listen to you, 
I'll be your friend like I always do. 
But if I opened my mouth fill it with a shoe, 
I can't go through this again.

Now I'm spiraling and my words don't rhyme, 
I think about you all the time 
But now I know I can't tell you that, 
it has wrecked us.

I thought we were different but there's 
too much you can't reciprocate. Life with 
you will be a lonely fate, I don't do good 
when my feelings are bound, wound so tight 
I can't touch the ground.

Now I'm spiraling and You can't be here, 
I need you now but you've disappeared. Your 
my best friend but I've no one left to talk to.

I wish I could make the day go away, like 
it never happened the way it did today. 
I said so much I shouldn't have said, 
now without you I feel dead.

Now I'm spiraling so just let me die, 
I said too much and I don't know why. I don't 
know how to get back to you. 
We're miles apart now.

The next time I see you i'll be wearing a smile, 
and you can tell me about your day, share your hopes 
and pains because I'm your friend but you'll never 
know just how much I won't say.

Now I'm spiraling and I'm holding it in, 
I've muted my heart so you won't hear me, So 
you won't feel me, So you'll still 
want to be near me.
