I keep listening to the tick-tick-tock
of that proverbial clock,
saying that time is running out on me,
and I have to quit looking
for approval in your eyes,
and believing all your lies.
I, just need to get a life.
Still I lay here in the dark,
with your dagger in my heart
expecting to hear
your footsteps in the hall.
Like I’m too blind to see,
and I still believe
that you’re coming back at all.
