My Drawer

I pulled out my drawer

and it was full of our memories

My heart was still beating

Its beating for you

And everything became still

I felt your shattering words

New memories became history

These movies became photos

And our love became a distant past

Oh why won't it last

Why won't it last

And I hear my waves come crashing

 

It was my fault this time

I pushed you away with my words

I've never felt love like yours

So true and refined

Like an old bottle of wine

And now my heart feels like

an unfinished painting

I can't keep on waiting

for this love to come back

So I'll close my drawer

Sealing it up

Boarding it up

Closing it up

I feel my heart break

 

And now I can't feel you

And now I can't see you

I'll clench my sturdy fist

Squeezing away the pain

Of loss and insanity

Quietness, and tranquillity

Of my heart

Of my heart

It's the start

Of something that is more

Open and close the door

Of my heart

Of my heart

I still miss you

 

I've changed, I've changed

And my heart, my heart

Is in flames, in flames

Come back, my love

I've changed, I'm the same

I won't lie any more

I won't cry any more

I can't die any more

Don't know why any more

I've gone and lost my way

I dont know what to say

Im lost.

 

 

I still feel your lips

Pressing against mine

And I can still feel our hearts

Tightly intertwined,

These wounds are still bleeding,

They will heal in time...

And even though I feel. like this

I'll be fine, I'll be fine

And this time, this time

My heart is heavy and

my knees are weak

And the more of this I speak of

The more it just hurts

So that's just proof

I'll be fine.

With your heart

In mine
