        If you wore your personality on your skin, no one would take a second look
You were sGhallow when we met and you still Dare

We're both fools lGost in this cold Dworld
You might not Emfall as much as BmI do, but if I lGook close enough DI can Emfind the scars on Bmyour knees
I can fGind the bags unDder your eyes Emthat carry too Bmmuch for you to Ghandle
