Cartweels & Tears

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...
