Kill the Lights
Music is playing in the darkness,
Holding my heart in your hands,
Every word you say,
Makes it worse,
Makes my mind go dizzy.
I never could foresee the cruelty,
Now it’s not easy for me to let go,
As I still remember,
Every kiss I gave,
Remember your arms around me.
Another ghost of memories to haunt me,
For an already scarred heart,
Feeling used again,
Something I could write the book on,
Yet we almost had it all, darling.
Your words echo in this room night and day,
How you want to paint my eyes, my lips, my collarbone,
With me wishing I had never met you,
Still hiding the traces of tears,
That keep running down my cheeks.
