Marianna Bernardini

I liked the way you said my name

I liked the way you said my name
The way that it dropped from your lips
I liked the way you made up words and rhymes with it
Perfectly written poetry

I liked the way you touched my skin
The way your hand fell from my chest down to my hips
I liked the way you made me laugh in bed before falling asleep
The climax of a symphony

We were always nothing
But that something felt so good
Silhouettes and rhythms
You seduced me, I seduced you
Falling from the edges
We were both in the deep end
Someone came and save you
And you left me there

I liked pretending you were it
(I really thought you were the one)
Talking baby names and weddings and rings
You lied to me a million lies
And I believed them 'cause I could
I was a kid in your playground

We were always nothing
But that something felt so good
Silhouettes and rhythms
If you'd move I'd follow you
Falling from the edges
We were both in the deep end
Someone came and save you
And you left me there

You always knew that this would end
I was a puppet in your show
You controlled all my strings
The public clapped, I played along
How did you think that I would feel?
You never thought I was the one...

We were always nothing
But that something felt so good
Silhouettes and rhythms
If you'd move I'd follow you
Falling from the edges
We were both in the deep end
Someone came and save you
And you left me there

I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning

And you left me there
And you left
