back for you.

if she runs away it doesn't mean that she wants to
if she hides her face it doesn't mean she doesn't want you
to see her
if she packs her things and leaves the magnet letters on the fridge
you know that she'll be back for you

when she leaves you hanging it doesn't mean she meant to
when she see's you crying it's not that she can't do
she won't do
when she hurts then hurts you worse just to feel pretty promise me
you know that she'll be back for you

why she paints her clothes instead of her face
why she knocks you down when all you need is faith
why she wants to hear you love her just to hate you no one knows
but you know that she'll be back for you

how she looks so plain and somehow feels beautiful
how she hates today just because it felt perfect
how she wants to keep your sweater but leaves your life out on the lawn
all say that she'll be back for you

what she loves the most is the picture you colored her
what she lost for hope is an ocean in those eyes of hers
what she doesn't say would never come out right anyway
still you know that she'll be back for you

if she looks at her shoes when you ask her to watch for you
if she turns away when she spent all day finding you
if she holds her breath and hums when your arms are full of her

she just wants to know you'll be back for her.
