Dear Lana... Come Save Me
  Playgrounds and Swing sets
  We were holding hands and laughing
  No regrets, no time to think
  About the consequences
  Young and naive,
  Young and brave.
  Grew up to fighting and liars
  No one to show us what real love was
  So maybe we took a wrong turn
  Young and reckless,
  Young and brave,
  The  monsters came
  and took my world away
  Breathe in, i'm breathing out
  Trying to calm my heartbeat
  But it’s pounding loud
  No more butterflies
  Just another goodbye
  Bleeding tears while I try not to cry
  Your eyes like starlight, I’m hypnotized
  But you wore your hurt, i’m so surprised
  we lasted this long
  You kept me level
  I kept you sane
  Still the monsters came
  and took my heart away
  Breathe in, i'm breathing out
  Trying to calm my heartbeat
  But it’s pounding loud
  No more  butterflies
  Just another goodbye
  Bleeding tears while
  All my shelter went away
  All this anger all this pain
  And for what?
  Shattered glass and f***ed up pasts
  The time it took to realize
  Life isn’t young and reckless
  There’s no room to be naive
  And running into the fire
  Is just stupidity
  Breathe in i’m breathing out
  Trying to calm my heartbeat
  But its pounding loud
  No more butterflies
  Just another goodbye
  Bleeding tears
  But I will not cry
