Tears sting the backs of my eyes;
The moment I almost lost you...
The reason I can't look at myself...
You.. Look right through me.
I close my eyes and listen hard
for some idea as to where I went wrong
Did I lie, did I cheat...
Did I call out anothers name?
My memory fails me at this point
and my teeth leave marks on my lip,
I'm so completley lost...
and then it comes out.
"You feel so cold,
Like you really don't care...
Did I do something wrong?
Or am I just a game to you"
I bite my lip to hold back the tears,
You didn't do anything wrong..
but the words stay locked at the back of my throat
and I am left staring at the floor.
If only you could read minds...
I love you
I miss you
And you are never close enough
I need you
I want you
I don't know where I'd be without you
I find myself lost
I don't know what this is
This feeling in the pit of my stomach...
But if only you could read minds darling...
You'd only know..
You sigh and look away,
the look of betrayal,
my words stay caught like flies,
I wish I could only say...
It's not you
It's me,
I can't trust you..
but if I, but if I,
you know I would,
You know what he was like
My words of defense...
Your hand brushes against my cheek
the soft touch of your lips on my cheek
as you whisper into my ear "I love you..."
and walk away..
"Why can't you just look right through me..."
