Over You

A song

     I sit alone no candle light, at this table set for two. I lie to myself a million times each night as I say I'm over you...

Everything's wrong. I can't find a way to make you stay. Can't you hear me beg you to stop as you walk away?

     Haven't I done my time? I've swallowed my pride for you.

     It was all about lies. Why can't you tell the truth?

     It's there pale and light, a ghost of all I thought I knew.

     You cut a wound so deep, I'm bleeding only you.

     Why can't I close my eyes and blind my sight of your blue?

     It's pried from my mind, a ghost of all I thought I knew.

     After all this time, on my lips I still taste you.

     What do I have to do? I'm torn in two.

     I know it's wrong but I just can't fight. You take hold and thrive in the wound. I lie to myself a million times each night as I say I'm over you.

     I carry a smile while I'm crying inside. Who am I without you? I can't remember a time I wasn't dying inside. Those scars on my heart are you.

     Everything's wrong. Wish you would go as I beg you stay. On my knees I beg you to stop the pain as you walk away.

     Haven't I done my time? I've swallowed my pride for you.

     It was all about lies. Why can't you tell the truth?

     It's there pale and light, a ghost of all I thought I knew.

     You cut a wound so deep, I'm bleeding only you.

     Why can't I close my eyes and blind my sight of your blue?

     It's pried from my mind, a ghost of all I thought I knew.

     After all this time, on my lips I still taste you.

     What do I have to do? I'm torn in two.

The pain of love is so clearly demonstrated in this wonderful piece. The ending raps it up in a confusion, and a torn feeling. I loved this, because I can feel it all. You did awesome sauce!
