Avoiding the Cracks

Walking down the street
Why
Purposely missing the cracks
Is
Because I’ve had enough
This
Bad luck already
So
I can’t take any more
Hard

I can’t think
You
About the days to come
Were
About the future
My
Because all I could see
Past
On the dark horizon
Present
Was you and I
Future

Aimlessly walking alone
I
Everyone around me
Cannot
Has a hand to hold
Feel
Their love was told
Anything
But I walk alone
Just
Avoiding the cracks
Numb
