You were everything when you should have been nothing
I don’t even know if you’re real.
They say I’ve become inveigled by dreams,
Blinded by tales of the divine, the supernatural, and occult.
I fade into oblivion and live in a fool’s paradise waiting for our hearts to collide.

You were nothing when you should have been everything
Time just didn’t give us a chance.
Yours is the touch I’ll never get to feel,
The soul beneath the eyes I will never look into.

Your love hides behind that boy across the street,
The man beneath the soil,
The pilot lost at sea, the soldier drunk with enmity.
And I can’t reach you because
You’re everywhere but here.

You’re nothing and you’re everything at the same time
But you and I
We need to let each other go
Because, my dear soulmate,

We’re nothing when I thought we were everything
And we’re everything that’s never going to be.
You’re not real, you never will be.
I thought you were, but I realized that was just me.
