November

Skies of gray reflect in your eyes

No matter how hard I try

I just can’t look away

Please turn your back on me

And let me breathe again

This love, it hurts

It burns up inside

How much of my life

Can I destroy?

You have the parts of me no one else does

You say you want love

But that’s a lie

You just want pleasure

And I’m glad to oblige

What can I say to stop the chase?

I’m no good for you

But you have to know

If I could stop time,

I’d stay here forever with you

Leftover shards

Bits of my soul

Torn apart by those before

You opened my eyes

You opened my soul

So I could finally close the door

On a past filled with pain

Without the fear of it returning again

And now here I am

Unbound and whole

Wishing I wasn’t held back once more

Ever so close

Always so far

Falling apart
