I Always Told You

I always told you not to bleed
but here I am with lacerations right above my knobby knees
I never said to ask the same of me
This is how I cope with losing what I need 

You
don't know 
what
you do 


I always told you not to smoke
but now I think the red and whites are growing cancer in my throat 
Since you left I've started to grow old

You
don't know 
what
you do 

I'm sorry that I'm doing 
everything I told you not to do
If I had a choice I swear I'd choose not to 

If I had a choice I'd choose not to
But I never had a choice in losing you

And I was reciting wedding vows
but life's a foreign language to me now 
Every line you fucked up in my head 
is another naked stranger in your bed

If I had a choice I'd choose not to
But I never had a choice in losing you
