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
