Standing, staring
watching helplessly
as you turn away
you're leaving me
Joyful times,
soul full tides
happy memories
slowly drift away
like leaves in the stream
Silent nights
wordless fights
it all seems to me
pain filled feelings
start to weaken me
I think of where
we have been
and what cannot be
there's no more to be said
our time is at an end
maybe we
can finally see
just what it means
slowly sinking in the mire
misreading your desire
Fooling my self
like only I can
almost believing
I could be your man
that you would want
the same thing too
clearly again
I had been duped
If you're
wearing your heart
upon your sleeve
there are those who
will deceive
tear down your walls
take from you
everything you thought
you knew
so move along
don't look back
the road ahead is
long and black
finding light along the way
holding on till night is day.
