Time moves on
and so do you
While i just lie there
like an untied shoe
Each word you say
with the sting of a whip
Afraid to move
afraid to trip
Speech impaired
heart is drained
Your voice can remove
even the slightest pain
You own my heart
like the words of a song
There is no way
to right this wrong
You sold me out
to save yourself from falling
When i whisper your name
i know you hear me calling
As i still wait for you
here by the phone
My life perishes away
like the skin on a decaying bone
