wash over me
didn’t have the courage to say it but if you knew how much it killed me inside every single day. shaking hands, cold sweat tell myself, “don’t fret what could possibly go wrong?” you’re more dangerous than the Mauna Loa maybe if i knew what was in your heart i wouldn’t have to go lower…
