pushing you away

 In a dream I don’t believe,

 In a hell I can’t escape

I wait for you like the night waits for the day

To take the darkness away

Time sifts through my fingers

The minutes cut worse than the hours

I'm running fast but still,

 I can’t escape these memories of you

 

So I lock it away,

Pretend it's all a dream

You never existed,

You were never real,

Bottle it up, lock it inside

To show everyone I’m moving on,

 

I still dream as I lie here dying

I still wait because the pain never leaves

I still hate myself for pushing you away

I still hold to these memories of you

Memories of you

 

Like the stars in the dawn twinkling out of sight

I fade to the background and wait till you pass me again

If I could just talk to you,

Pretend I’m alright; maybe I could find a way to win you back

If I could just talk to you and everything’s alright

Then I guess I could die happy tonight

 

Because all these days mean so little

When you’ve walked away

 I can't seem to settle

 I'm still standing here,

Waiting for the dream to pass,

Waiting to open my eyes to you

I pretend I’m moving on,

But I’m barely hanging on

 

I still dream as I lie here dying

I still wait because the pain never leaves

I still hate myself for pushing you away

I still hold to these memories of you

Memories of you

 

I still dream of you

I still wait for you

I still hate myself for pushing you away...

Pushing you away...

Pushing you away

Oh this was really good. Though it did have a lyrical ring to it. I would love to hear it as a song. Its pretty captivating if you think about it. The lyrical really mean something different every time you were to read it. Great work =]
