How can you mean so much to me
And I so little to you?
For you I’ve cried the seven seas
My heart’s made the ocean blue
I once felt the warmth
When I was in your embrace
Now I feel the cold
Mascara runs down my face
A jet black tear
Collides with my cheek
A monument
To that fateful week
For all the thousands of times
You’ve penetrated my mind
Did I ever pass through yours?
Every time the clock chimes
Another day I find
That you’re still at my core
We tried to make amends
We tried to be friends
But we remained alone
Shall we ever atone?
Sometimes I look at that dress
The one I wore on that night
The last time we’d try to impress
And we tried not to fight
Did that smooth pink satin
Know that I
Would never see you again?
Do you really not miss
Being what we were?
Do you ever wish
I was at your front door?
But, you know what’s true?
I would sell my soul
To give myself to you
To get out of this hole
So, I’ll wait for a shooting star
To wish me back to you, my love
Or, I’ll wait for a speeding car
To launch me to the Great Above.
