All I ask for 'Just open my eyes' and I am wasted by you. A muddle of thought. So it goes. How it is. What I want, isn't this. It's all arbitrary. You know how to mess with my heart. Tangled by the words on your tongue. Oh, for the love of God. So it goes. How it is. What I want, isn't this. Though it proceeds. It's all so cautionary. Close my eyes, it's your face I see. Oh, how you look back at me And that grip tightens 'round my existence. Let me go. You won't know, How things work If I don't get to leave. What you want, isn't this. Your blissful whispers keep me awake The wind: your embrace A gust: your breath And the stars above us reminiscent of the string that ties You and I. Yet, what I want, isn't this.
