Tell Me

Salvation/ Destruction

By Poppy Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

Breaking boy, breaking boy

Tell me what it’s like

To fall apart in plain sight

Broken boy, broken boy

Tell me, from where you lie

Do I look like your salvation?

Airborne boy, airborne boy

Do you fall because you love me or

Just because you love to hit the ground?

Shattered boy, shattered boy

If the only time you feel alive

Is when you push me away

I guess I’ll find a way to leave

Breaking boy, breaking boy

Tell me what it’s like

To break a different heart

One that is not yours

Weak boy, weak boy

Tell me, why do you look

Like my destruction?
