What Was and What Still Is
What Was and What Still Is
I dream of you with lies around your eyes and on your lips
But I find in you in the alleys with the rallies that drop dead in the streets
I held you in my arms as you were brought back to life in the middle of the night
But I lose you in time just like I lost it all in a single hand
I felt you quiver at the sight of a long over due kiss this morning
But I saw you run away from every emotion you could never fight
Feel love in your chest and hear your heart beat all night
Only stare into my eyes everything will be alright
I love the way you smile when you feel my love
And I don’t want anything to change
I heard you say my name as I glanced your way in this mistake of a night
But I want to run away since there is only fire between you and me
I rushed to save you so many times throughout our lives
But I don’t think I can reach you, this structure is collapsing without freight
I see signs that bring back memories
But I don’t want to remember anything anymore
Taste my lips on yours and smile while we kiss
The world is ours, filled with bliss
Our hands can’t part ways while we pull away
But every day and every night I dream you to me
I touch your lips with resistance on my eyes
But my finger tips could be the only parts
I miss your eyes every day and night
But I only stare into the black sky, but the stars remind me of all those endless nights
I want to love you again
But your heart resists
You tell me you hate me
You tell me you love me
I have nothing to give you now
And I hold these flowers out for you to see
I don’t care, I just want to be
That I love you so much it hurts to be
Away from you
Away from you
And every day I want to
And everyday I want to
Beg for your forgiveness
Kiss you all night
And tell you I still love you
Hold you so tight
But nothing will ever be alright again
And make everything alright
