and i've cried as if my tears could bring him back to me
love is blind & i couldn't see
how he'd wrap the night around me
blow out each candle & set me on fire...
oh well, ashes.
He's sitting under me
in dreams.
This is why I'm so unhappy
& I've cried as if my tears could bring him
back...
Go out to every night
expecting those last words to drown
but I still believe..
naive
I still believe
And there's a space within me
I'm defending.
Tears whisper "endlessly" & sting
But he left me with a voice loud enough to sing.
Left me with NOTHING
But that was EVERYTHING...
The way his hands betrayed me
disclosed me
It seems
and formed a ring around me
unseen
Alone. Alone. Alone.
He tells me I'm just hiding
In circles
He left yet stayed inside me
& It leaves my life divided
Alone. Alone. Alone.
Alone is everything
And if cartwheels & tears
or stars & sighs, sunsets & sadness
or all the magic & pretty words in the world
could bring the boy back....
i'm not quite sure i'd have him anyway...
