The dark nights were my best friend, the sadness was profuse,
You pulled back at my heartstrings, and began to work them loose,
And even though it's my time to shine, ladders left dethroned to climb,
Trepidation traps me like a noose, I could be on my way.

You look mighty fine as I stand in line,
Legs uncrossed, is this a sign of where the night is going,
Biting lips traps the smoke across the room,
I best my leaving soon before my time is gone.

Many things untold, as memories grow old,
The dust begins to gather, papers in the cold,
Succumbing to the fright of never being right,
I don't think you deserve it, love in morning light.

It'll take time to write the story, it'll take an age to write a book,
The hours I keep on going should be worth another look,
Oh my, was that just a smile?

My lies will take you far away my love, into another day,
We'll go far away, into the next dimension,
To break tension, this fucking night needs another mention,

A lovers tiff is the thing I miss, another snowy moment, another clouded kiss.
You're going past in the wrong direction,
Through my broken heart, the restricted section.

Many things untold, as memories grow old,
The dust begins to gather, papers in the cold,
Succumbing to the fright of never being right,
I don't think you deserve it, love in morning light.

A pathetic lost love story, can't strive for death, can't strive to glory,
My only hope is I can do it with you, with you,
All hope is forgotten, the floor I'm stuck to is sodden,
But I still wouldn't have it any other way.
