lyrics

"We would sleep together; or I'd watch you sleep, or you'd watch me sleep. We'd put on a movie not to go to sleep, but we'd fall asleep in our arms. When we went to college, we were young and free. We were you and me. When we started smoking, we thought there would be no other use for our arms than to hold each other with our arms. When you didn't cross my mind, I was anxious. I was scratching at my arms. Roger read your letter. I was stagnant. I was hardly in my heart. How could you be there too? This is not an excuse. This is just my part, my side of the story that should probably end with you parting from my arms.

We loved and we gave all our hearts. With our arms, we held so tight that we couldn't find our air; and my arms, in the meantime, filled with holes and lost their hair. And my heart became too weak to hold you, and it took so long for me to realize my arms were empty cause my mind was never thinking about your heart. I'm sorry. Forgive me if you can find a place in your heart." - Ben

"I know that you're sorry. I am sorry too. We fucked up, you with your drugs and me, when I ran away but should have stayed. Thank you for accepting me as I am. I wish that I had done the same and tried to help you get back to being who you became when I watched you growing from being just a boy with just a name to a person who could decide what he wanted every day. Yeah I'm sorry. I was part of why we found ourselves so shamed. Why'd I make us spend our money on a bunch of childish games? Can we forget about the moments when we tried to kill each other or maybe keep them close to remind ourselves not to repeat the past." - May

"And while we're at it, let's throw out our phones and be together all the time. And while we're at it, we'll throw out our pens to force us to say what's on our minds to each other. We'll say, 'I love you.' We'll say: 'Don't do that. It hurts my eyes to see you bleeding.' These are things I should have; said but in due time, we'll get better. I am with you. We'll get better. I am on your side." - ???
