Gone By
Lonely night,
Full of hurt.
Tears fall down
Another day gone by.
You confuse me
With your tempting ways,
Saying that’s we’re not like that,
But acting like we are.
I guess I can’t really complain.
Because I’ve got it all made.
Everything’s cut out.
I just have to find the pieces.
You’re taking my heart
And playing with it, like it’s nothing.
I know that when you leave,
I’ll go into hiding,
Once again, alone.
So I’m trying.
I’m trying to lie to myself,
Say that I don’t really care.
Say that you could go and I wouldn’t be hurt.
Wouldn’t cry like a child.
But lately I’ve been feeling so estranged,
And you’re the only one I can trust, here. In this place.
You make me smile, when I just want to die.
You take away the pain,
If only for one night.
But you’ve silenced my cries,
And I can’t seem to breathe.
Dear, you’re strangling my heart,
And you do it with ease.
Please, I beg,
Don’t take me in your stride;
Either define what we are,
Or leave me behind.
Just wrap me up,
Only for tonight.
I just need your company
So I can survive.
another day gone by.
