Heart Beats

My heart beats hard
The never ending pulse
But I am barely listening
My head resting on your chest
I can hear your heart beat like a steady drum
Moving so fluently with your lungs

And the only thing keeping me alive
Is the air you breathe for me
I was the stranger in the dark
And you brought me back to life
But in this distorted world
We all fall into disillusionment
And dream of something so much more

You were my dreams at night
And the smile on my face in the morning
You had the most beautiful eyes
And you were the source of my nervous butterflies
And in this moment of unbelieving
Well I was the one worth leaving

Our fingers danced together
And in the moonlight our shadows made a show
But that was so long ago
And now I have finally decided
That my body is a prison
Keeping my heart from yours
The days are longer now than ever before
And the nights go on forever

It seems like someone has drained the color from your eyes
And filled it with something I don’t recognize
You broke my heart one time just to look inside
But I destroyed ours both and killed the love we had
And I have finally realized
That time takes love and gives it back

You were the poison that I craved
And the cure for all my pain
You were my dream away from sleep
And my shelter from the storm
And in this moment of unbelieving
Well I was the one worth leaving
