"Speechless" by Clayton Parker

The last time I spoke to you, when our mouths had opened, we had just kissed.

Now our mouths don't open even to speak to each other.

In fact, the closest thing to speaking I get is seeing your smile in a mirror.

So after that I tried to find someone new, and it's funny I do.

But I can't look her in the eyes or any other girl.

Because when I feel anything like that it's just for you.

So I've stopped speaking entirely

And I'm happy with that

You're smiling in the mirror, and that's a treasure in itself.  

So I know I've been a snake in the past

And I know that's not irrelevant, 

the marks may forever last.

But if there's any closure I could give you. 

I'm speechless, and cheering for you.

And I won't ever bite you again, I'll stay clear of you.

And I know I don't look happy when we're in the same room, partly that's true.

But really I'm just pushing my interior down in the ground for you.

But If you ever need me to unearth.

I'll be lying here creating lines for you. 

And If you ever need someone to stand up for you.

I can do more than that. I'll rise up for you.

Haunted like Noah Kahan on Halloween.

Or like the first day I listened to Gracie Abrams on repeat.
