on fire by words

a re-written piece

 On fire by words

Oh well I never thought I’d be the one

To hold on while letting go

And my heart, I wish I could control

The emotions flowing through me

And my tongue,

I wish I could control

It sets fire with these words before I think

It's too late I can't explain

I’m left standing in the aftermath

Of a new explosion as she walks away from me

 

And it's unusual feeling alone

When I was at home with this feeling

Not so long ago

So please

Turn off the cameras; I need to rest a while

 And it's only when you’re not around

I find the words to explain

Just how much you mean to me

 

I'm drowning in the hole I dug for myself

I’m filling it with words of regrets and sorrow

Hiding my eyes behind this smile

And I can't help but think of you

And late phone calls made with hazy eyes

Placing more words on the embers of the last fire

Raising the flames, these eyes won't remember

Just when we were getting out

I burn this building down around us

 

And it's unusual feeling alone

When I was at home with this feeling

Not so long ago

So please

Turn off the cameras; I'm okay,

I just need to rest for a while

 And it's only when you’re not around

I find the words to explain

Just how much you mean to me

 

So I'll take some time off

Stand in the background of the months

Flashing by

And I’m not used to feeling this alone feeling

Staring at the ceiling trying to keep quite

It's just so unusual feeling alone

When I was at home with this feeling

Not so long ago

So please

Turn off the cameras; I'm okay,

I just need to rest for a while

 And it's only when you’re not around

I find the words to explain

Just how much you mean to me
