I'm simply trying to figure out who I am and where I belong.
Don’t you tell me this is real After all the things we said You told me I was a mistake Well for you I never did feel Yet these scenes repeat in my head Those days we never got out of bed Movies playing without interruption Where it all started on the couch The calls during the night Thinking twice to pick up the phone To you it wasn’t fair Think about it, it was my turn Then I’d say hello And just like that everything was gone For quite a while I said I’d make it work I ignored your suspicions, accusations and lies You thought you were in the lead To me it was all just a game Those long night train rides Sounds I wish I’d never made You never did give me the key So now you say she’s not the one And he’s exactly what you say he is And you tell me she’s beautiful That I’m wrong You swear you’re done It’s been four times said before But I remember those walks The sand you promised was ours The rain against our skin All those crazy things you said I’m left sitting here Waiting for you to make it clear

Forgotten
Slowly it comes, intercepting thoughts I could have sworn it was you I was told not to believe Just leave he said We can’t ever know the truth Sudden interruptions, falling off the edge Just close it up and try again You never really knew how to begin Like a fire it burns What was on top would never return Moving of the sheets, an absent entity Reaching towards nothing, the need to withdraw Happening again it must be real The silence begs to differ and it’s time Minutes go by to never return And in the night it shines through What we swore was never there Reality becomes blurred and we see clearly I know that you’re there Just bring me back to you Previous experience learn from my mistakes If only it were worse with a witness But now I’m alone and I know Never was it impossible My perception is not what it was The ghost of you it lingers Broken in pieces I remain

Broken
We can’t take it back No we can’t take it back We’ve been here once before In the dead of winter I know it’s not there As we crawl along searching for what’s gone The white noise It’s closing and it’s closing Evacuate and follow procedure Another stop, another mistake Step back and watch it go In the back most window forlorn I’ve been chasing cars Through the runnings of your mind We’ve been treading unmarked territory Looking into windows of what was once glory Settling into the soul stained glass To tell stories of unidentified faces
