I could be a happy song,
a breeze through your hair
a breath of fresh air
but I can't right your wrongs

I can teach you how to sing,
to live a life wild and free
I'll reveal to you the beauty
that waits in corners,
hiding

because it's the little things
the sweet, sweet nothings
that mean everything

when you learn to see,
come and walk with me

of loving?"
and I answered,

loving you has turned me
into a fool.
I love,
       and I loathe,
                      you."

but you don't have the heart

not like I do.

watched it slowly melt,
and what I did not know

but ignited in feverish flame
yet they refused to let go
and continue to hold
the scorching snow
just the same

The desire for attention
is never fulfilled.
the more you get,
the more you need
to fill up
the gap it leaves
