<p>Left me in some indefinable lachrymose<br>
I should’ve known it would be much more hurting to stay in too close<br>
But before I let go, please allow me this one more last dose</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>All of the rose petals have wilted but I keep trying to stick them back together<br>
Empty hopes: I keep reading the books we used to read while am sitting alone by the fire<br>
Unbelievable loser: I keep convincing myself that you were never a liar<br>
Foolish and stupid me; I can’t seem to be satisfied of how you badly broke me apart<br>
But maybe, at least, at least one more last dose will be able to keep me stable at heart</p>

<p>Fighting to close my eyes every night because I still see your face<br>
Went from eating too much to staying without food for days<br>
One more last dose, maybe I’ll forget that in my heart you had a place<br>
One more last dose, I swear I’ll be okay</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Struggling to keep the broken pieces in the perfect place<br>
I ended up swallowing one piece of my own broken heart<br>
But, maybe one more last dose is enough, will be enough to deal away with the sad part<br>
One more last dose of you, is enough to brighten me up all over again</p>
