I remember how warm the look in your eyes used to be. You see, I play those moments back in my mind, Time after time. A little light just for me.
I remember how safe I felt whenever you held me close. That strength you swore would stay for any length of time. You promised you'd always be mine.
I remember how your voice used to sound. Your song would make my heart pound, but now? I'm so damaged I'm numb.
And you are too but by *** and coke And not a word is spoken between us because now,
You lie here. In my arms. Fading fast.
While I try to fend of the pain the morning is bound to bring back to you again And pray it migh last.
But the look in your eye is so distant.
The warmth, The heat is gone. Cold feet.
Your hands are shaking as you ask if it's really me there.
You don't even recognize me.
So, why do I care?
You appologize, but the diction is slurred. The meaning is blurred. I can't breathe near you.
Still, I can't bring myself to leave you.
So, I kiss your cheek and tell you that I know. I also know that yo won' remember a confession of love to me, Your "saving grace sent from above," so I pretend not to hear.
I hold back a tear, tuck you in bed. And remember the things that I should have said.
