U
“U”
Closure and closer sound so close together
But so far apart
Cause I say I wanna be closer, you say you just want closure
And us staying apart brings me closer to the bottom than I ever been
Wanna jump into the conclusion I’m just as good alone as I am with you
But problem is I never saw myself as complete, other than when you were attached to me
I saw when you disconnected left our love disjointed
Brought a whole new meaning to separated
Cause I know we became one
So now I’m in two places all the time
Trying to find my way back to the center
Trying to throw pride into this void you left
Throwing coals into this dim fire, trying to redeem my self-esteem
I’m tired of the bruises from kicking myself

The taunting I fling at my reflection, the wound filled with salt when I claim
It’s my fault
I know it’s OUR fault
I know we broke OUR hearts
I watched it happen
I tried to ignore the sound of the breaking
I tried to ignore the tick of our time being up
The reminder that we could never last forever
But it blared in my ear every time we parted ways
I wondered…was it the last time the taste of your kiss sat happy on my lips
I hate that it caught me so off guard when it actually was
The taste has faded away, I lick my lips trying to remember it
But…
Closure and closer sound so close together
But the only thing missing
Is “U”
