August abyss

what did you expect
the first time we met

i know i can be reckless most of the time
i know i tend to love less over time
i think that it’s best if you stay away
cause i know i wreck every good thing

and that’s not fair

baby, just give me a moment
i promise that i can make your night
baby, with your hand, i’ll hold it
i can’t promise it will be all right
we can be broken together
we don’t have to see the end in sight (not quite)
baby, just give me a moment
i promise that i can make your night

i miss your gentleness
i want more intimate moments
i’ve been in this August abyss
and i will be someone you forget

what did i expect
the last time we met
