Description
I've been here in the background
looking for what's lost
but never found
I've been tossed
You never really understood
Just how much I love you

You say we're doomed
Its as though you've assumed
That I've been consumed
In mind and being
It’s you that hasn't been seeing

Somehow it seemed
I watched as you beamed
Your light shining through
The darkest cracks in my heart
I stopped to woo--
Remembering with a start
We would always be apart

I can't let this happen
Your love is a mortal sin
Look away
I can't let you stay

I look back and see
It's you running after me
I turn away
The words are just too hard to say

I search for your light
only to find
It's out of my sight
I had been blind

As the tears brim your eyes
I can't look
I can't watch as a part of you dies
You were so perfect
Your smile was real
Back when things were simple
Now you've been hacked
Hacked apart
Your poor heart
I can't stand here
I can't look

I can't look
I can't see
This isn't all I took
Listen to my final plea

We will always be apart
But smile please
I will always love you
With all my heart

You turn away
I want to look
I want to say
Return what I took

I can’t bear to see
The tears dripping down your cheeks
Was this me
Did I cause this pain
Every move is a strain
I can’t bear to see

I can’t bear to see
Your pitiful eyes
How could this be
Those eyes once held ties
To bliss and humor

This love is like a tumor
It spreads and kills
Like an ugly rumor
It hurts and drills
Your eyes are empty

Emotionless you walk
Away from your life
Please can we talk

I can’t make it stop
You won’t listen
You hack and you chop
As your tears, they glisten
Don’t do it please
Stop you don’t have to
Let me appease
And be one of the few
I want to help
Can’t you see

Can’t we go back
To the way we used to be
Let’s get back on track
I want to see you full of glee

I need you to smile
At whatever cost to me
Get rid of this bile
Whatever the fee

I’ve caused all of this pain
You’re lost in your own disdain
And it’s my fault
That you’re on this catapult
Of fear and sadness

Let me see you again
Please return my call
It’s a quarter to ten
As you stagger down the hall

You’re finally going to finish this
As you take them all
You’re feeling pure bliss
You manage to crawl

You make it to the phone
And hear my voice
And hear my tone
You laugh, like you have a choice

You won’t call
As you slip into a deep sleep
In the middle of the hall
You took the greatest leap.
