This heart sits heavy
In the middle of a dream
Weeping from what could be
A disillusioned memory
Erased inside a stolen moment
It was never mine
I only captured what I couldn’t have
Don’t you know that’s just not fair?
Of course you didn’t
You were too busy with someone else
Focusing on a fuzzy picture
When I should have been your clarity
Now I see…
These eyelids close
In the middle of a vision
The color shifted to black and white
Once vivid now ordinary in a fake world
It was never mine
Who’s to say I put myself in my own place
When I never even knew where to start this course
That left me without a left or right turn
A barricade that paved the way
For my every action
It was always wrong
Blowing up in my face
And yet at precise moments
It didn’t seem to bother me
At least not today
Time drifts away as it waves goodbye
The sunset teased a happier peace
Its last mistake has ranked first place
Here I go leaving my mark
Why couldn’t you have noticed
It was I with my heart in my hand
Passing along your good taste
Another untouched heart gone to waste
With a pair of passionless lips
You missed your perfect kiss
I’ll never know because you are the water
That could levitate and drown me
All at the same pace
The wave that carries me and sinks me
On a crowded ship of ghosts
I float on this water
Your powerful current
That forces me to sail on to another sea…
