[verse]

i walked the campus grounds like a ghost in a new machine
swallowing textbooks and theories, keeping my hands green
i made friends with faces that didn’t know my name before
they laugh at my jokes, they sleep on my carpet
but when the lights go out in the dorm, the moon gets thin
and i’m tracing the outline of where your ribs would have been

i succeeded, didn’t i ?
i got the honours, i got the praise
but i’m just a minotaur getting lost in his own maze
none of them touch me with hands that get the brightness
of a love that i strangled just to opеn up

[chorus]

and i’m thinking about how i cut you out
like a cancer that was testifying too loud
i chosе the reason, i chose the fast car over the jeep

i sacrificed the only thing that could have let me be saved
don’t be a stranger, that’s what i said in my head
but i’m the one who left the body for dead
yeah, i’m the one who left the body for dead
[verse]

now i’m stamping my passport in cities i can’t pr-nounce
trading my sorrow for miles, ounce for ounce
alex called me from back home, voice low and thick
said you and chloe finally made it stick
said there’s a baby coming, a life i’ll never touch

and god, it hurts, but i guess not enough
’cause i’m still here, pristine and untouched by the dirt
wearing my success like a crisp, red shirt
i wouldn’t take the risk, i wouldn’t say the words
so i let you roll away with the stick season

[bridge]

i should have smashed it, i should have cuddled it
i should have listened to mother swift who said to ruin the friendship
i should have haunted your nightmares until you had no choice
but i was too scared of the sound of my own soul

and she knew, chloe knew
she saw the way the magnolias bent between me and you
but she swallowed her pride, she drank down the vodka
she was willing to hold you while i wasn’t near
she took the scr-ps that i threw in the barn
and built a home while i locked the attic
[chorus]

and i’m thinking about how i cut you out
like a tumor that was scratching too vividly
i chose the reason, i chose the first class over the wingsuit

i sacrificed the only thing that could have let me be saved
don’t be a stranger, that’s what i read in my book
but i’m the one who left the body for dead
yeah, i’m the one who left the body for dead

[outro]

so that’s the story, the blood is dried
i put our epiphany in a coffin and i buried it outside
where the greenery stings

i’m ready now
i’m clean
i’m standing on the stage, can you see me ?
i gave up my love to be something you’d see on a blimp
will you love me back ?
will you give me a chance ?

please, just make me a comet
don’t be a stranger
