Hello My Old Lover

hello my old lover
i hope you never read this letter
cause i know it’s gonna make you cry

hello wasted lover
i wrote it down so i’d feel better
but it’ll kill you if you find it

his cut is deeper than yours
his touch is sweeter than yours
eyes like he’s been through a war
i can’t believe
that the more he learns
he adores
parts of me that you never explored

with him i’m always in bloom
the only one in the room
he’s like the man on the moon
fell from the heavens
landed in my bed
it’s like he knew
how to heal what was broken by you
turns out i’m easy to love

hello my old lover
i hope you never read this letter
cause i know it’s gonna make you cry
hello wasted lover
i wrote it down so i’d feel better
but it’ll kill you if you find it

and when he laughs
i finally understand
what every poet talked about
must have seen him coming
cause they wrote it down

and in his hands
the hands of time
decide to move a little slower
no one wants the night to be over

and now i’m real, real sure
i wasn’t made to be yours
you couldn’t weather the storm
but if these words are carried
all the way to your front door
you’re probably laying on the floor

hello my old lover
i hope you never read this letter
cause i know it’s gonna make you cry
hello wasted lover
i wrote it down so i’d feel better
but it’ll kill you if you find it

turns out, i’m easy to love
