A Chemical Romance

When we first met ten years ago
it changed my point of view
She calmed my nerves, she eased my mind
and helped me start anew

I was an angry little boy
'til she made me a man
I wandered through life aimlessly
'til she gave me a plan

When I took her into my lungs
it felt like coming home
I realised that things weren't so bad
and didn't feel alone

But when she'd leave me for awhile
I found I couldn't deal
Without her mind-numbing embrace
then things would get too real

I'd cling to what she left behind
if I could find a trace
Sometimes I'd search for hours on end
just for another taste

Denounced her love a year ago
although we're still good friends
I see her about once a month
to give my head a cleanse
