OBLiViON ~ At Loss For Words ~ BLuNTSMoKEMPiRE
When ever we run out of words
When every mistake spins like a cyclone in our heads
It was always something
One thing or another one after the other
Always gets blurry after time
Time after time
The conversation becomes an ad lib script
And your voice turns to ice
But it is okay
Many times that voice warmed me on the coldest nights of my life
I wish I didn't love you as much as I do
Only because it is so hard to watch dreams burn away
Into castles made of sand
And the memories only hurt because because they remind us of so much
It is true that it would be easier to forget but we never do
We never forget
Even though we can paint the past any way we like
I was never ashamed for being so ignorant
I could have guessed but how could I have known
How could I have been such a clown
When it all falls down
When frustration saturates all rationale
When the solutions escape possibility
Reality is a point of view
Even though I miss you
Even though I want everything to be okay
I'm looking at your picture
But I refuse to call
Been too much of a fool already
Remember when you told me we would work it out
Remember when you said that you cared
I believed you
Because your eyes never lied
Because your face was sincere
Because you asked me to trust you
And I did
I also read between the lines
But, it is okay
I was never any one important any way
Yet you gave me moments in this lifetime that I will cherish always
When ever we run out of things to say
When ever we can't remember the things that were said
So many things
Over and over
Time after time
The whole time I only wanted to be myself
And I felt I could be myself with you
And to be wanted was the most beautiful thing
To be touched
To be listened to
To be needed
To be loved
To matter to you
But what you have given me out shines anything I could do
Baby it is okay
You don't have to think of anything else to say
You don't have to think about yesterday
Remember I told you
I knew from the first time I saw you in the flesh
Your eyes never lied
I know that you tried
When ever I become a distant thought
Remember I loved you
