Untitled 2018

I used to think I could protect you

From the demons in your head

I never thought I'd need protecting

From the feelings you thought were dead.

You used to lie your head on my shoulder

In those hotel rooms

Telling me stories of past pain

And the times you felt used.

I fell for you gently

But you told me you fell hard

And from that moment on

I sensed a long abandoned chard.

You used to take me on adventures

And promise me nothing but bliss

I grabbed your hand and told you

I would be back for your kiss.

So take me on one last adventure

If but only in my head

Tell me all your inside jokes

And hold me in our bed

Erase all the grief

Replace it with this song

Please just let me go, okay

And tell me I wasn't wrong.

I sensed a change when I confronted how I felt.

You caressed some lies and showed me all your truths

And though I hid away from them, you told me how to melt.

I studied for hours how to stay away

You drew your hand back and told me to think again

I grabbed your hand and kissed your fingertips as we started to sway.
