EVER-HAUNTING
EVER-HAUNTING
I’ll blow out the candles Darling,
No need for light when you’re gone
This has become the only way I know.
I’ll throw out the candles, you’re not coming home
And this valley of ashes that lies between our hearts
Is where I’ll bury the corpse of our love.
But it wasn’t my intention
To leave with silence as the last word we spoke
Your memory fills my air heavy with forever
And lost sounds of yesterday
I still hear your whispering
It’s been ever-haunting,
My blood is not wine, but tears.
So here’s to sleepless nights, and dreams of insecurity
But I’ve laid like this before, in a bed of silence
Counting down to the sound of a heart breaking
Think back on every night, I swore you were the one
But as we laid there were tornados coming on
I’m left here sorry cause the timing was all wrong
Seems mine is not a life meant for love songs
Deep within the drawer I used to hide it from myself
Resides the suicide pact I signed by giving my heart to someone else
When we seared our names into history, burning like a star
The words that spilled from my lips unto your ears were good as gold
As we became the miracle that fairytales have told
And didn’t I hold you like you wanted?
Didn’t I love you like you wanted me to?
Wasn’t I everything you needed me to be?
Time ran us both into the ground
I guess you never needed me.
I’ll blow out the candles Darling,
