it's in a walk across campus
every fear I ever thought to fear
you have wrapped up
it's in a moment of weakness
the things I decided not to show you
are the only things you saw
but you think you know everything
about what I'm feeling in this moment
in this breakdown
but I never told you how easily I can forget
I choose to keep you
even if you kill me
how much I'll still remember
and long for
the way it used to be
with you and me
but when I'm in his arms
when I'm attacked by love
when I breathe relief at his voice
taken over by feelings too high to express
I won't think of you
that's true
no, it's not that important
but when I walk alone across the grass
in one of those moments of weakness
you are every fear
I've ever feared
