Snowed In (rough Draft)

Miles, I wrote this in 2018 after you binged, went manic, bolted, and lost your shit on me and everyone else. I hope you learn how to appropriately express your love, someday.

"Don't want to grow up, it'll be too hard.
Stick to wreckin' cars and women's hearts.
'cause it's easier to destroy, than to journey below and become a 'real boy.'
Gonna let my father drown; only 'cause he was never around.
He loves to fight, he loves to drink... he loves to show me how to build things.

And you can't say that I don't love you, just because I don't know how to; just because I have to use you...
That is just what love makes me do. 

You don't trust me, but I trust myself; pretend to be somebody else.
The mask will fall and we will see
if you can tolerate the real me. 

You can't say that I don't love you, just because I don't know how to; just because I tend to abuse you.
That is just what love makes me do. 

You get hurt, it's not my fault; you played your own part. 
If you behave, so will I; but only enough to get by.

And you can't say that I didn't love you, just because I don't know how to; just because I had to lose you.
That is just what love made me do."

Don't Wanna Grow Up- Rough Draft

THE PURGE. I'm a singer-songwriter; principal instrument is voice, and my little guitar is my support system. This is where I randomly upload songs I've written or things I'm working on. My songs, and I, are all a work in progress- most uploads are rough recordings of my writing sessions- hence the awkward, unpredictable nature.
