Echoes and Stains
You took me there
then pushed me over
too scared to leap yourself
I fell on my own
I'm left on my own
with lil blue eyes
and a heart full of echoes and stains
When you look at her face
I hope you remember
the mess that you left
and this house full of echoes and stains
You should never have said the things that you did
Never knocked on this door, if you really weren't sure
Do you know what you've done? Leaving me to live on
with these rooms full of echoes and stains.
Just like those towers you made in the lounge
you built us up just for knocking us down
And if she smiles at your picture, I'll try to remember
that she's too young and it's too soon for echoes and stains
How can it be that I love you and hate you?
How come you can't see what I see?
How is it you changed, in only a day?
Smashing my heart in only your way
Washing your hands
leaving me
with these echoes and stains
I let you go with love
clinging to my dignity
but,something's really eating me
What happened?
To the life we started
and the heart you had?
You know it's never too late
but it's just too soon
to paint over a moon full of echoes and stains
