i know nothing i could presently say,
would bring us back to the day,
when we were something to me,
yet mostly nothing to she,
so many lights casting shadows of the past,
can i just stop the memories and ask,
why are you dead set on reminding
me that i would love to be rewinding?
my eyes are shining bright, see from the crowd,
as i allow my heart to speak out loud,
allow my heart to produce music,
from nothing but my mouth and fingertips,
if you come back, brighter livin,
i'm sure i could be forgivin,
these bright lights casting shadows of the past,
allowing me to hide sadness behind a mask.
