I think I'm sick of this
It's time I shake off this rust
I once had my heart set on nothing but us
Now I'm staring down myself
Counting up the years
My hands remain steady
But inside all your stares are killing me
Like I am transparent and right through me you can see
I know that everyone has there doubts and fears
Everyone wants what they think is fair
Just like I always wanted all I thought I needed from you
Why could you never see what I seen?
My feet remain steady but restless
To run away from you
Needing you to come chase after me
It's like we're moving but we go no where
And I know you've tried to rescue me
But how could you when I won't let anyone in?
All that remains now are traces of what was
And all that could have been
Please take all the tainted pieces of me
As they no longer fit
Just like your promises that were unkept
And drink them in until you're high
Chase them with a shot of left behinds
If you could have only seen in your nothing
You meant everything to me
And I just wanted to be all you would ever need
Happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
So just take whatever you please
All the promises are empty
Like your last glass of whiskey
I only complicate your life
And you cause me only disappointment and strife
I hope I will always remain a sweet taste on your tongue
I hope you never forget those
Hot sweat and blurry eyed nights of fun
My world is just too black and white
Not like your's so colorful with your dreams about life
We must of been caught off guard somehow
So I won't try to philosophize now
Just take a deep breath and a good look around
How I feel has always been real
You are my sweetest sin
And I've felt this weakness coming on as
I tried to read between the lines
Of ******* on the mirror in your mind
I tried to see what lied behind your weary eyes
Went to war with your demons inside
Your voice will always be
The soundtrack playing in my sweetest dreams at night
You are unlike any other
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
And I never want to be with another
But I can no longer repent
In the dark on my knees
The candle light has all been spent
The holy water has turned to a poison wine
And it's time I leave what once was my love's sanctuary behind...
