What I meant to say was that I love you,
What I wanted to say was that I meant what I said

Or sitting silently behind the doors
Of hotel rooms became wounds
Breathing life in to this loneliness

I miss you like a sad ending
Must miss someplace new to begin

if you travel it for too long

But I'm racing down it towards you trying to find my
Pulse. — Shane Koyczan
