I don't want god to see this written on my arms
how beautiful it was to dance alone
I woke up to see your message on my telephone
how wonderful you slept all on your own
I can't stand to watch you walk alone
I dont want the world to see this tattooed on my palms
cursive like the veins that run beneath
I cut through the days with your name caught beneath my teeth
your lavender soap songs still on repeat
I can't stand to watch you walk alone
I’m far from home
I dont want you to see this scratched into my chest
how I poured half down the sink
and drank the rest
I can't stand to watch you walk alone
