let's be honest | 1 |
you've forgotten everything | 2 |
and i've surpassed subtlety | 3 |
| |
hints at remembrance | 4 |
ended when country roads evolved as concrete | 5 |
and power lines collided with skyscrapers | 6 |
| |
so, | 7 |
i will refresh your memory | 8 |
the past year scattered with vivid memories | 9 |
reminding you | 10 |
that you're still a prayer inside a song | 11 |
the need for beauty thriving in the gleam | 12 |
of your eyes | 13 |
| |
it was when our pulses first ticked simultaneously | 14 |
and i said, | 15 |
"if you try be less charming, | 16 |
i'll do my best to to be more attractive." | 17 |
| |
and that's the way it's always been | 18 |
the start of inadequate | 19 |
becoming complete | 20 |
| |
among the situations | 21 |
for which i cannot express | 22 |
there was this one | 23 |
and just so you know, | 24 |
the only reason i ran away | 25 |
was for you to come looking | 26 |
for me | 27 |
| |
(and you did) | 28 |
| |
but that holds no importance now | 29 |
the significance of an understatement | 30 |
erased by anniversaries, | 31 |
sweaty palms, | 32 |
and the adrenaline caused by | 33 |
love | 34 |
| |
yet, | 35 |
no apology | 36 |
will ever substitute | 37 |
the breakdown of a soul | 38 |
crumbling as the months | 39 |
just pass the time away | 40 |
| |
and i finally see what this all means | 41 |
| |
but by the time i realized | 42 |
you were far less of a romantic | 43 |
| |
and i was too late. | 44 |
