I must be wearing blinders Can’t understand why we put the past behind us You say you have my memories filled in binders Letters, menus, pictures, poems Do you read the words as I once wrote them? Every time we speak it’s like a small explosion If I could cry, I swear these tears would fill the ocean You show these little cracks I try and fill my hope in Your happy, I’m happy Inside I am burnt and broken Man, It must be this **** I’m smoking My words betray me I’m self-exposing Do you ever ask yourself why you were chosen? I just wonder how you can up and leave But I guess that’s just the motion See, I keep our memories in a little folder Every night I crack it open I don’t read the words I just sit and listen It’s like my heart ran off in one of your ink descriptions Maybe there’s something in these syllables that I been missing Some clarity to such a rash decision Was our love that much of a car collision? It keeps me up at night This is why, In life your supposed to fight For what you love Sweat, tears and dripping blood But, I guess I’m just a memory in a binder A little boy dreamed of a girl Never thought he would really find her
Hold what you love close. As if it was the very oxygen you needed to breath.
