I watched the sun rise
Then turned out to watch it
Set down the skies
I took a peek at the moon
It came out at night
I watched it glitter in the dark
Two supernatural features
That fail to control their futures
The moon and the sun
Are just couples that never touch
It has nothing to do with distance
But the timing they feature
The timing is always wrong
Just when the sun's very worn
The moon still takes too long
The sun's brightness has never
Turned her on
Love at a glance
Your and i started with smiles
You promised with me you'll run miles
****, all you did was run me dry
I'm wiping no tears in my eyes
I promised myself for you I'll never cry
But why...?
You were never satisfied?
Yet i promised you all my life?
I always sensed circus in your cries
Crocodile tears and your lies
I'm a fool,
I fell for a fox
Leading her straight to my hen house
Falling in love is just but a gamble
You never know when you are tossing the wrong dice
My heart was the price
Fragile as it was
You still smashed it to the ground
With pieces scattered around
I'm not sure if I'll mend it right
I for one envy the sun
His patience never runs out
Always hoping to meet the moon
Every time its sets down
