I don't quite know how you did it
But I remember it so well.
On a spring morning
In May
You saw me sitting alone at the coffee shop

You took a seat at my table and drank my coffee
Pulled me out of my chair and said
I want to be able to say that I went
On an adventure with a beautiful broken mystery
Like you.

Dazed I was, you made me
Tagged along, I always was quite awkward
But there was a sparkle in your eyes
That reminded me of my father's
Oldest scotch at the back of the liquor cabinet.

Instead of sweeping me off my feet
you tripped me up and gave yourself
the excuse to pick me up again
and the smirk and the sparkle
and the roughness of your hands confused me.

And when you rolled up your maps
And packed up your compass
And left me stranded in the jungle,
I realised I should have known
That the sparkle in your eye was dangerous.

love gives you security fills you up with pride
gives your heart a glow makes you warm  inside
makes you feel so safe  sheltered from all harm
makes your life worth living gives it so much charm
security in love is something that you need
then your love is safe very safe in  deed

Sitting in this still empty space
A space opposite the first place
You dumped me
Surrounded by aging remnants
Of our tender love
You left me here, again
Sorry symbols of our love surround me
Leaving me to stare the past
To annihilation.

This time it's different
I will not have you back
You crawled to me before
When your judgment was slack
But I learn lessons
From past panic and pain
My temper was stretching
Our love wasn't the same
You left me here, again

Just because the road is closed
It doesn't mean it can't be walked
No foundation for their expectations.

In the space where someone used to be
Is there a void or space to breathe?

Why are so many people around us
When I wanted it to be just us?

It turns out in the long run
All they wanted to do was untrust us.

I look at you and I stop
Your so beautiful none can compare

I look at you and I stop
So  overwhelmed its hard not to stare

I look at you and I stop
I can't get past the smell of your hair

I look at you and I stop
I'm so obsessed it's not even fair

I look at you and I stop
You have me unconditionally ensnared

I look at you and I stop
Don't you know I'm walking on air

I look at you and I stop
I would die for you that's how much I care

Words are just tools, or things to be used
they can make sense of the world, or leave you confused.
Love's just a word, so's beauty, perfection;
they once conveyed meaning of undying affection
but they're now overused, and so seem cliche
what good are words she won't believe anyway?
But say them I shall, just to let her know
that for me love means the same as it did long ago.

What's so special about her? That's hard to say
But she's not the sort of girl, you meet every day
Is it that her smile is like the sun's warm rays
or that when she speaks it sets my heart ablaze?
Is it the way that she sounds when she says my name?
Or that when she smiles and makes me do the same?
It's all of these things, and yet none at all
It's because she is perfect and in love I did fall

This affliction that I feel
This pain is so unreal
In front of you I kneel
My skin begins to peel

With every breath I steal
Another death I reel
From behind a broken shield
The only voice I yield

A silent understanding
My love to you I'm handing
It's my heart your eyes are branding
I brace for heavy landing

Breaths are taken
Faith is shaken
Words mistaken
Sight forsaken

Silent screaming
Ears are bleeding
Tears are streaming
Heart stopped beating

Soul beneath you
Hands stretched skyward
I beseech you
Please hear my word

Now
I'm calling out again
Reaching for a friend
Beginnings have an end
Calling out again

Time slowly spent
Another twist and bend
Calling out again
Calling out again

Lift me from this hell
Body is a shell
Standing where you fell
So much I could tell

Wish that you could know
Heart became a stone
Wish that I could show
Standing here alone

From your broken voice
Just another word
Do you have a choice
Speak and you are heard

Show me that you care
Lay my mind to rest
Lonely, naked, bare
Raise my fallen crest

Calling out again
Calling out again
Reaching for a friend
Calling out again
