She sits there pretty with eyes that call me near,
and it's clear,
the sun shines down on me
if only for a moment,
I am free
Now I don't know what went wrong,
the sea has yet to calm,
and the storm has begun,
as we stand wishing,
waiting for the sun,

No, I'm not what you wish me to be,
who I am is not who you wish to see,
but I am here nonetheless,
ask of me nothing more,
nothing less,
everything but you is meaningless,
I see you smile,
and now I can finally feel how it feels to feel okay,
I live to fight another day,
If only for a moment,
I am free,
and the sun shines down on me,
Now, I don't know what went wrong,
the sea has yet to calm,
and the storm has begun,
as we stand wishing,
waiting for the sun

Some time has come to pass,
and the sunshine has all but disappeared,
can you see through my eyes?
Can you see anything at all?
Take a picture from my point of view,
can you see what you've become?
No longer does the sun shine through,
you say you love me with all your rage,
I find it hard to believe,
hard to breathe,
hard to see,
your heart's a dusty book now,
I can't stand to turn the page,
can't stand to take a peek
at why you're so ashamed,
why you are so crazed,
but act oh so brave,
at times when I'm so afraid,
I don't know what went wrong,
but you are gone now,
leaving me to drown,
the sea has yet to calm,
and the storm has begun,
as I stand here by myself now wishing,
waiting,
waiting for the sun,
but it's not sunny anymore.
Kind of a work in progress, any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated :)
