There's an empty cavity where my heart once lived.
I remember it being boisterous and selfless.

I ripped it out of my own flesh.  A sacrifice. A gift for you,
So that you'd never have to feel alone again.

I healed the scars on it myself.
They used to be wounds from careless lovers who were never good enough.

Once it was whole, I knew a place I could put it for safe keeping, a home in someone else.
You were always the place I could trust.

When my heart first left me, I was overjoyed that it was with you.
So happy and loud, I could hear my heart beat inside your chest no matter our distance.

But I don't hear it anymore.
The beating has been extinguished by pain and confusion.

I can't help but to think it was better off with me.
Still, I don't want it back... It was always yours anyway.

i'm gone to the store for some bread she said
with her suitcase in her hand

I might be blind

but I'm not so dumb

That I cannot see

the lie in your words

some men got a woman.
some men got a man.
me, I just got a guitar.
lord, how I love my one man band.

shalimar's my guitar.
shalimar, she's my strings.
when I get to crying,
that's when shalimar starts to sing.

You kiss my melancholy skies away,
as I kiss your heavenly mouth to stay.

I could drown staring in your luring eyes.
You make it so ******* me for good-byes.

I'd bid all to wake up in the morning,
with you at my side with the same feeling.

I have chosen to drench myself in you
because your love's the only thing that's true.

Now that I have you, I'm never alone.
The warmth of your embraces makes me home.
