Lay this gently on me

I'm begging you please, put your heart on my sleeve

If you can't let me in, then please let me leave

Some trace of my scent in the autumn leaves

that are falling around us like heavy hearted shame.

I lay this lightly on you

Forgiving your demons is harder to do

the faith I had makes it harder to

pick up the pieces of us that were strewn

Around and around like the fullest, bluest, moon.

I don't ask much of us

It's ok with me if you feel that you must

Throw what we had off into the dust

Forget what was love, and just call it lust

Put it out on the lawn and just watch it rot and rust.

Lay this heart on the floor

My part of the wound is a little bit sore

You threw what all I gave you out the door

The shame that I feel cuts me straight to the fucking core.

I forgive all your pains.

If you'd let me, Id run to your arms again

I'd capture your eyes, and we'd dance in the rain

We'd laugh and we'd laugh til we're utterly insane

Remember the time that we talked of a plane?

Fly off in the sunset and leave it all behind?

I'd do that with you just to see what we find

we'd lay on a beach and just simply unwind

The rest of the world would be totally blind

I'd forget all the pain and the tears and the hurt

We could take all this shame, throw it into the dirt

I could lay in the sun, watch you take off your shirt

Lay down next to me, maybe even flirt?

This is simply the dreams of a girl whos heart

has been taken by someone and torn apart

It probably wont happen, but its a start
