As we stand
Facing the same direction
Tearing one another apart
Don't be gentle

Quiet hums of cars
Pass by in the night
The city slows to a buzz
Though we're not sleeping

Confusion replaces anger
The hurt starts to seep in
Don't take back your words
That you once lent to me

Your eyes don't touch mine
A chance to breathe
Thoughts rattle in my head
Dawn creeps up on us

Monotone colours dance
We are both so hurt
The breeze doesn't reach me
And so I sink

As we stand
Facing the same direction
Tearing one another apart
Don't be gentle ..
