Out on The Streets

Out on the streets
is the pains I weep,
the lies he tells
to keep me on his side,
Picture's only begun
when love was so much fun,
but that was then
Not now,
I feel so much sorrow
and madness that keeps my mind
going back to a time
when love was on my side,
But love has changed and so have I,
darkness is always around
in the city to night,
velvet moon shinning her light
with all those billions of dark diamonds
deep into the sky,
they remind me of my lover’s eyes,
this old moon is everywhere I go
I don't ask for pity,
I just want to get out of the cold,
because pity is already with me
there's nothing that you can do
to take away my darken woes.
