Whispered secrets and shattered dreams,
That’s the way you look at me.
Like You’re seeing your last hope come alive.
Why can’t you say the words,
That are on both our minds?
How is it that you can let someone in,
But never know who they really are?
All I have is today and all my yesterdays.
So keep me close,
In your arms.
I want to feel your heartbeat,
And memorize your fears.
Maybe I’m not good enough
To wash away your tears.
But I thought I saw something in your eyes,
I thought I felt a sense of hope,
I thought I heard the song sing,
That you had finally set me free.
But maybe all I saw was you,
Letting go of me.
And all I heard were the flames
As the stars fell from the sky,
Like tears as the face runs dry.
My fears start to blend,
Like rivers of an hourglass,
Running out of sand.
What if I could fix the past?
Would you ever make it last?
Would I want the hours back?
Could I stand to hear your laugh?
Or would I just step back?
These are the questions that I ask,
But I know that darkness past,
Can never bend with light ahead.
So as you lay awake in night’s sweet hour,
Just know that I will hear you cower,
With the lightning in your head.
Know that I will soon forget,
Everything that we did,
Because I found one who,
Can change me to who I wanted to be,
Before I wanted to be with you.
