Lonely are the nights that only emptiness is the one thing I hold onto.

Her firm body standing tall in the smoked filled room, I watch her lean into his neck and kiss him ever so gently like a butterfly upon the petal's of a rose.
I smile in her direction as her warm coco coloured eyes glance up and raise my glass of bourbon in honour of her beauty.
Why can't she see that he is no good, **** I'd give her the world I mean everything the whole lot, but here I am just nursing this drink wishing, wishing that it was me her soft kiss was caressing.

Crystal clear waters above my head
I've drowned in this life of wrong
Weighted down by my own guilt
Only now forgotten songs

Why was I so blind from the start
To think I was so clever
Never being caught in waves of trouble
Yet here I am drowning

No hands outstreached to help me now
Just faces stare and ripple
Darkness rushing with arms wide open
Pulling me further away

Don’t touch me.
I don’t know you,
A stranger to me,
I don’t allow you.
You smiled at me
From across the place.
In this noisy nightclub
You’re just a face.

You might be a cook
Or maybe a movie star.
I don’t know you at all.
I don’t know who you are.
You don’t have permission
To put your hands on me
And treat me like someone
Who is desperate and ******.

I totally understand
The way things are today.
After all I’m in this bar;
It’s like I seem to say
I’m one of those types
You take home for some fun.
That might be what you think
But I am simply not that one.

You see, all I can go on
Is a matter of your looks
And I am not a psychic
To tell angels from crooks.
So, thank you for your offer,
But I am going to pass.
I turned you down even though
You patted me on my ***.

I won’t woke up tomorrow
Full of sorrow and regret.
I won’t be the conquest
You will quickly forget.
I’ll be the one who has
Taken the time to say
I understand your game
But, I don’t want to play.
