Charlotte

Charlotte You were smiling at me As you were looking right Through him Or were you Looking right through me As you were smiling at him? False subtleties From dew to dust From dawn to dusk All the things that you have to weave I’m sure didn’t mean to deceive Well I never really had a doubt After all the things I found out I can’t get out Charlotte Too caught up in the web you wove In the lies you told Head first for you I really dove The web you spun Right here where it all began As I sing along The cricket’s song Just as I realized Summertime can’t last forever AsI hang onto something a little tighter I wondered if I Should hold on to nothing A little bit longer? Your hourglass body The bristly patch I crave Too many things on my mind So many past better left behind That also told my woes to you That is all I can do No one can ever take your place In my heart Blood thirsty Looking pretty That’s all you do Charlotte I’d still like to believe That you really Didn't mean to deceive.
