Lyrics

I know I've been manifested

I acknowledge my existence and presence.

I know I've been brought to life again

I recognize that I've been revived or given a new chance at life.

I spent lifetimes, biting my head off to find where my heart is

I've spent a long time struggling to understand my emotions and find my true feelings.

I know it's unrequited but don't fucking treat me like the dearly departed

I understand that my affection is not reciprocated, but I don't want to be treated as if I'm already gone.


I paid the price when I laid eyes

I faced consequences when I became aware.

Read me like a book you were never on the same page

You understood me like a book, but we were never on the same page.

Now you're trying to delete me

Now you're trying to erase or remove me from your life.

I'm so goddamn self-destructive

I have a tendency to harm myself emotionally or otherwise.

I'm so mad that you don't want this

I am frustrated that you don't desire or appreciate what I offer.

On second thought, I was honestly better off

Upon reflection, I realize I might have been better off without you.


Your love, carbon monoxide

Your love is like a harmful gas, potentially toxic.

I'm done, finally not tied down

I'm finally free, no longer bound or restricted.

By the ghost of a love that's gone by now

I'm no longer haunted by the memories of a love that has ended.

Your love, carbon monoxide

Your love is like carbon monoxide, potentially dangerous.

I'm done, finally not tied down

I'm finally free, no longer bound or restricted.

By the ghost of a love that's gone by now

I'm no longer haunted by the memories of a love that has ended.


I know I've been manifested

I acknowledge my existence and presence once again.

I know I've been brought to life again

I recognize that I've been given a new chance at life once more.

I spent lifetimes, biting my head off to find where my heart is

I've spent a long time struggling to understand my emotions and find my true feelings.

I know it's unrequited but don't fucking treat me like the dearly departed

I understand that my affection is not reciprocated, but I don't want to be treated as if I'm already gone.
