My darling
how I wish you loved me
how I wish you felt for me
how I wish you knew me
and although I hear your words
echo in me
and oh how sweet they sound
how I wish I believed you
how I wish those were your words
how I wish those words were meant for me

But the sky grows dim my darling
and your eyes
shining mirrors
seeing without showing
a mere reflection of nothing
and mine
slowly fading
as I can simply die
and you can simply forget
but your honesty saves you

But you will try
by god, you will try
my Pinocchio, you will try
and I cannot say
that I was not warned
yet I still fell
and you still caught me
and the fault for this dance
one I know I won't finish
is mine alone
and your beauty saves you

But my darling
my love
you tell me to leave
because you know you cannot love me
because you know you want to love me
but you let me hurt
and I hate you
and I hate you
but your innocence saves you

And when I look at you
I wish I could save you.
