he was avoidant
i was anxious-ambivalent

and somewhere along the way we got lost in translation.

he was the rational to
my irrational

i was the bright yellow sky before dusk
and he was the deep indigo when it's past bedtime

and somewhere along the way we got lost in translation.

he was the dark
and i was the light
yin & yang they used to call us...
we were complementary colors
disguised as human beings

he was the midnight sky full of bursting stars
while i was the pink vast sunrise beaming through the clouds

but instead of his hands up in my hair
and me against the drapes
we only got left with scars and scrapes

you fooled me one last time
i thought we had it
i thought we will make it..
i thought you were going out with a BANG
but it turns out it was just me walking out with a bruise

a bruise on my heart
good thing they heal over time
because i know i left plenty on you too, darling...

i thought we had it
i thought we will make it
i remember the first look you gave me,
those sad pale blue eyes
just begging for me to love them...
i gave you my all, love
you gave me your all..

and somewhere along the way we got lost in translation. . .
