Lost within your eyes
Your eyes a pleasant labyrinth
I yearn for no escape
Promise me you'll trap me forever in your gaze
Mesmerized beyond belief
Please, do not dare to look away
I'm not wanting to go astray
Been following your path for years
Lacking confidence, but the determination remains
Persistant flirtation, playing games
Several steps away from victory
Trailing behind and soaked in tears
You're the only one I want, my dear
In more ways than one
To hold you close and never let you go
Within an eternal embrace
You're the one I want here

Thinking of you on rainy days
With the sky above so grey
Matching my mood, the way that I feel
I know I'm needing you bad, because this pain is so real
Lost and alone, always on my own
To contemplate life
Swallowed whole in my own strife
My heart numbed to everything
Waited too long for something too good to be true
A hermit, a victim of my own insanity
Spriralling down with doubts to survive
Dying slow, unloved, and left alone
