I don't want to run away
only to be yanked back again
don't hold the string if you can't
keep up with it
but then
should I cut them
seam by seam
then maybe we could get somewhere
without the weight of everything
Waltzing so practiced,
blindfolded and faked
I'm yearning for substance so why should I wait?
Darlin' you're nothing but a shimmering star
I know you're a bright one, but I don't know how far
I would have told you, that life isn't far,
but you'll turn around and ask me
"and why should I care?"
but that's what I asked for, and the stars they delivered
I still would be better off
were you not in the picture...
but excuse my complaining
I love you, i swear!
but I'll never admit that, no matter the dare.
