Jessi cried herself to sleep for the better part of three months
All the while putting on a smile in the day
An Italian sun couldn't shine its amber light inside
And two years later he still comes in dreams
It’s like a broken melody
Am I so lost I can’t be found
It’s been 1800 days since she could look at her own face
The secret he has hid from the one who took her place
549 she tried to wipe them from her mind
A temporary fix, hope to move on
And all of the things she can’t forgive herself
And all of the things she can’t forgive in him
And all of the words trapped in persistent themes
And all of the words trapped underneath her skin
