crying to a shade

one more song about the same girl again
a blond bomb gone but a wrong end
more then a friend ten verses from my pen
lend your ears to my fears across a letter that I better never send
blend the pain and the same lame phrase
and endless flow of days amaze a broken heart through the haze
but wait say play the same song in a different way
but hey maybe you'll say you'll come back someday
no way to explain to your brain the lame hope you cling to
will never bring you to the song you think you need to sing to
think you been crying to a shade of a girl that doesn't need you
bleed truth it hurts but it'll lead you to a logic you can redo
me too oh we all felt that before
oh sure nothing more bore me with the story of what can never be in store
well I won't do it anymore because it's tearing me apart
everyone wants me to finish the race but I can't even start
apart from the heart of a smart kid that lost his sight
ripped his soul up so badly he lost his will to fight
but madly he pretends he'd gladly be alright if he could write
some words on a paper to end his dramatic plight

I'm sick of surfing the wave of the dream you'll never save
hurts enough to give back everything I think you gave
cause maybe you played me or maybe it's all true
maybe you'll glue back the pieces of the broken picture that we drew
maybe a thousand maybe's and and days of waiting will lead me back to you
or maybe you're gone and I'm wrong and I'm holding on
and you don't give a shit about me or that there will never be a we
or see how hard it is for me to write a song
about the same damn thing over and repeat
well I guess I'll lay it all out so you can fully find and see
or so I can finally look inside and find some peace for me

nearly a year has gone by and still I cry
and it's probably pointless I realize
but my eyes well up when I think about you
the way you thought me at my best but really it was you
it was you who took me to a place I felt at home
but you've been gone for so long now and I've never felt so alone
I don't know what the fuck to do and there's noone here like you
and I just wish that so bad that I could tell you everything inside I pack
it hurts so much but I know I can't wait for you to come back
so now I'm writing this song laying everything on the stack
as my chest heaves feels like I'm having a heart attack
pretend like you're hearing me and knowing that no matter how hard I try
I cant hold on forever so I guess it's time to say goodbye
so with tears nearly flowing I say I'm going
that's the point of all this rhyme
I love you, goodbye and god I want to cry
but I'm not giving in this time.
