i remember
climbing through broken windows
hiding from the light
lighting cigarettes
from fires we'd start in alleys
to pass the time
but it's been years since
i roamed with you at night
they tore the church down
my mother's home is empty
i tell myself
i don't know why
you couldn't confide in me
you felt alone
but what does that mean to me
i found myself
overthinking moments of regret
my mistakes just shine so bright
when they're played back
in my head
and i know you want me to
hold onto these choices
that i made
because if you told me
would you think i don't know
nothing would have changed
we'll always know what it's like
to have something worth losing
we held on to what we could
and what we learned
fighting against
their torturous roots
waiting to leave behind
all we felt
that we outgrew
