go to sleep sad... wake up sad

[mme_genevieve]

i was asked to put my heart into this melody
and so i quested, so determined, endlessly
for the microscopic bits that claim the hollow in my chest
succeeded with a couple rusty shards, but gave up on the rest

these sentences are punctuated with those bits i couldn't find
the reason for their no-show: they were hiding in my mind
and i couldn't pick them out from under something, or behind
love, like broken glasses, meant for seeing but makes you blind

and now i'm rendered speechless by...
(the lack of words to express myself)
and now i'm rendered speechless by...

if it's because i said i love you, i take it back
if it's because i said i love you, i take it back

it sucks, i know. i don't know why i tried.
