23h
taking it back, all of it
i haven't said a word
because took them all
i haven't smiled
because you took my happiness
i used to dream
you'd come back to me
temporary relief
a hello or
acknowledgement would cure me
all i do is sit in silence
all i do is frown
a fixation
i can't satisfy
i wish i could read your mind
look inside
there's no signs of me
no matter how hard i try
i used to daydream
grand gestures and marked meetings
nothing ever happened
it's all in my head
catching all my tears from falling
couldn't go too fast
i didn't even hold on
you slowed down
too late
i was already ahead of myself
what is this called?
heartbreak? how so?
i don't recall giving you anything
you took my smile
and gave me a frown
i couldn't take back my words
didn't you hear me laugh
never made it to spring
didn't see the summer moon
autumn felt like a ghost without you
what's the sacrifice
the price
to be with someone like this
i can't afford it
watched you leave
yet i need to have the last word
hope you smile
if you ever think about it
hope i linger like an ugly stain
you can't wash out
still waiting
counting the days
till you come home
come back to me
once more
