soft serve

There's a knot in my stomach
And it won't seem to leave
I can see my histories
Stuck on repeat

I tried to hold you
Here with my eyes
But you left me with nothing
But lack-luster goodbyes

All I wanted was for you to stay
Hold me close and spend the day
For you to want to be here with me
We'll sit and eat pistachio ice cream

Driving aimlessly for an escape
From all the words that I can't say
I always liked signs pointing South
Away from all the cold and grey

All I wanted was for you to stay
Hold me close and spend the day
For you to want to be here with me
Hold me close, we'll eat pistachio ice cream

Wake up and smell the flowers
I can't love you on my own
These red roses are all but faded
I can't bear to see this come undone
So look in my eyes
What is it you see?
The heart is just a muscle
It can't tell you what you need
