Darling tell me why you
Kept my hopes up for two whole hours
From sunrise to sunset
Neither of which we ever got to see
Together because you were too afraid
And so was I
Of something we didn't even know of
Then again one-sided tales seldom last
Fire and gun seldom match
Just like us
But I pulled out every emotion I knew
And all you did was to give the cold shoulder
Tell me what is worthless about me
I'd gladly listen
That beats leaving without a trace
And tension without reason
And I begged myself to let go
Till the one day you returned
Came back like a gift on New Year's
Made me think the tides had turned
Still again your disappearing act relapsed
You left me lonely with an urn
But maybe all this trying ends here
Maybe this is not what I need
Losing myself for a stranger
Smashing barriers out of greed
Maybe patience is the puzzle piece
To lock this labyrinth
Lovers come and strangers leave
Maybe it wouldn't have hurt as much if I had loved my skin
