Perfect Disguise

"And you bring me to life with. One song, one night, moonlight, and a bottle of wine." - Perfectly Known (Tyler Ward)

I sip the whiskey, the burn to ease the pain

I feel so lost, so hurt as I stand in the rain

Hoping that I could escape for just one night

Steal away, save myself, turn away from the dimming light

Of your eyes that are so full of lies

This love was just the perfect disguise

 

We'd always wait up by those old railroad tracks

Running along a crick bed wishing for so much more

Planning of running away with our matching back packs

But then you had to shut the door

Leave me out so cold you're frozen over

And you left me, I wish I could know her

 

I sip the whiskey, the burn to ease the pain

I feel so lost, so hurt as I stand in the rain

Hoping that I could escape for just one night

Steal away, save myself, turn away from the dimming light

Of your eyes that are so full of lies

This love was just the perfect disguise

 

And it was just something to pass your time

I was nothing to you, just an empty  shell

Nothing like fairy tales, no perfect rhymes

I know there is no story left to tell

Only if you had given this, us a chance

I could have made the very stars dance

 

And there's only one song left to sing

Just to tell you that you meant everything

Now you're gone, you've finally decided to go

Nothing now that's left to show

 

I sip the whiskey, the burn to ease the pain

I feel so lost, so hurt as I stand in the rain

Hoping that I could escape for just one night

Steal away, save myself, turn away from the dimming light

Of your eyes that are so full of lies

This love was just the perfect disguise

This was a great song. I loved the message within it. I really think you did a great job. I loved the flow as well. I loved the simple lines as well. Thanks for sharing. I loved it. :D

Emotional torremts trough the gage of ones mind. I always adore your use of simple lines, to create the complexity's of the human state. A most promising and divine work, well done, good read. x

[Distant horizons]

Beautifully penned. Sad and wistful. Excellent use of words.
