Devotion

My old dreams have lost their place,
My old words have a bitter taste.
Love me and leave me,
Step on my feet.
It's gotten too dark love 
I can't see.

Shattered glass, all over the floor,
The seams are all undone you've locked the door.
Kiss me don't leave me,
Out of desire. 
It's gotten too dark love 
I can't see 

Our good times, are coloured in black,
Our sweet crimes are never coming back.
Hold me and take me,
I feel so weak.
It's gotten too dark love
I can't see. 

Young love was crushed by young life. 
Never forget where we stood 
Or how we tried.
All a heart can do,
Is be the shore to the ocean,
Holding on so tightly to
A distant devotion.
