Look me in the eyes
& tell me pretty lies

it stings a bit
im never lied
actually it sting so much
im tasting my own medicine
tonight im gonna hear what is
the sound of brokenhearted,
that you've been ranting about

i told her in the face
"i was lonely when i needed you"

i told her in the face
"i was lonely when i said love to you"

i told her in the face
"i was lonely that i pursued you"

i told her in the face
"i was lonely but now she makes me feel how it is to feel love without being lonely"

I
cannot help
the hands
that touch me
when they
could heal me
I know
its a distant
language
written
on my soul
I wasn't
made
to
understand
but she reads me
and I feel
her
more than
     Anything.....
                               My greatest wish
                               I couldn't say
                              is by her
                              spoken
                        ­        my greatest hope
                              is only
                              that I could
                             hold her
                            forever
                               that we'll make love
                              while we're
                             still
                             young

he traveled back & forth
from north to south to
find something that he
can't recall, people
from his neighborhood
call him crazy for chasing
shadows instead of his wife
back home
