I think I am to you

As coffee is to sleep

You might deserve the two

But only one you need

I think you are to me

As lightning is to rain

Striking so silently

And then you dissipate

I wonder endlessly why you can’t understand

That I am not the missing puzzle piece you think I am

I think I am to you

As vodka is to sprite

Just add a dash of juice

You’ve got a perfect night

I think you are to me

As whiskey is to coke

Sometimes you taste so sweet

Sometimes you make me choke

I wonder endlessly why you can’t understand

That I am not the missing puzzle piece you think I am

You walk with so much damn confidence

The way you cling to me don’t make sense

I sure as hell ain’t your therapist

Don’t waste my time like that

And if I hear what you want me to

I still won’t have much to say to you

It only gets so much harder than this that much is true

I think this is to you

As lemons are to cuts

Ask me to clean the wound

Then say it hurts too much

I think you are to me

As prayer is to church

You say one hail Mary

Then swear to god it works

I wonder endlessly why you can’t understand

That I am not the missing puzzle piece you think I am
