Just tell me one thing
When you decided to hurt me did you still love me?
And if you didn't, when you finally figured that out why didn't you trust me enough to tell me?
Did the foundation of trust implode along with our relationship?
If there couldn't be love couldn't there still be respect?
Well I know there couldn't be love
But could there have been less disdain?
And since there was no longer trust,
Couldn't you at least assume most of the blame?

Your hand slipped away from mine
So, so cold as autumn leaves
And that cold, cold morning wine
And the handguns of thieves.

Reaching out I saw you go
So, so still as naked trees
And that same old morning glow
And the nests that hold the bees.

What did I do to set you off?
What do I have to do,
To get you off my mind?
It's winter, its cold outside.
Staring into your big doe eyes.
Why did it bring back,
The dizzying highs?
Feels like I've been here, all my life.
Throwing rocks at your window.
But you didn't open them,
Not tonight.
The glass shattered, but I am fine.
Right?
But if angels don't cry,
Then why do the skies weep?
And if God is merciful,
Why is his silence so deep?
