Stained
By AJ Lindsey

I only ever wanted something small from you
something that could tell me that you cared for me too
I gave you all my love and you threw it in the dirt
now all that you have left me with is sharpie on a shirt
you’re a stain inside my mind
you dirtied up my wasted time
I can’t see how you’re gonna go away
you took your marker to my brain
now what’s left I can’t erase
I’m a shirt and you’re my sharpie stain
it takes a little longer to wipe away a tear
when it’s full of memories of when you were here
I tried to clean my messes I’m nearly out of bleach
so can you take whats left of you before it ruins me
you’re a stain inside my mind
you dirtied up my wasted time
I can’t see how you’re gonna go away
you took your marker to my brain
now what’s left I can’t erase
I’m a shirt and you’re my sharpie stain
in the middle of a night like this nothings quicker than my mind racing
all I have is your face in my head
did you mean to leave me here like this with a smudge and a heart broken
all I want to know is does it hurt
when you leave your mark on someones shirt
you’re a stain inside my mind
you dirtied up my wasted time
I can’t see how you’re gonna go away
you took your marker to my brain
now what’s left I can’t erase
I’m a shirt and you’re my sharpie stain
