You Know Better

Every time the darkness reminds me of you, Of those mysterious evenings, When, walking down the narrow street, I was listening to our favorite song Speaking of what you had saved me from, Again and again. Still walking alone I knew you were there, waiting for me By the fork of the way to nowhere - I simply gave everything up. For eternity. You and Me. Disappeared. Well, nobody cared. I keep on writing, day by day, The story of my heart, twice shattered, Eight fatal steps, eight months away From that crossroad. Well, you know better. I'm letting time just pass me by, I guess, I'm carved for endless waiting. With salt of parting in my eyes I'm watching life so quickly taking The best of you. We disappeared. At first in one kiss, Then in one breath that we shared, Then in one hopeless sigh, Followed by hopeful sorrow, Mutual for two way too drunken minds. We disappeared to never be found, Being one whole through night and till night Of precious gloomy tomorrow. But too soon both your feet reached the ground, Leaving me here, in a dream That you still know better about. I keep on writing, day by day, The story of my heart, twice shattered, Eight fatal steps, eight months away From that crossroad. Well, you know better. I'm letting time just pass me by, I guess, I'm carved for endless waiting. With salt of parting in my eyes I'm watching life so quickly taking The best of you. I didn't mean to lie to you When I was trying to forget you, As all along you'd known the truth, You'd known everything much better.
