Closer To My Heart

So, I'm just the medicine

You take when you're sick

You get well and that's it

I'm put back on the shelf in your mirror

And it isn't exceptional

The course of our fate

So, people love and they hate

And I guess it's just our turn to hate

Yeah, you were just some song I wrote

A poem on a page

A sculpture I made out of clay

Desire was the flame

But now you're more of a basketball

Boys just pass you around

They bounce you hard on the ground and dribble

And then we all get high fives

And you think I'm an asshole now

Well, you're probably right

But at least I'm not blind to the facts

I've been wishing were lies

But still I hope you get everything

That you care to possess

And unbelievable sex with him

Or any one of my friends

But just don't ask about my appetite

I didn't lose it tonight

No, it's been gone half my life

It's just act, I've been eating for you
