Like Heaven

Like Heaven
By Kevin Robey
July 1, 2014

Even if I wanted you back
I wouldn't know where to look
And if I could relive the past
I'd never give back what I took

So turn to black my silver lining
Plant your seeds into my pores
Make me feel the wounds she's hiding
Can't relive the time lost in war

She speaks in ways you never could
Don't wonder why, you know I tried
Said all the words you thought I should
Burned my tongue like a thousand lies

Don't love you And I never will
Won't hide again behind your lies
Can't stand to know I was your kill
The shame I hid from prying eyes

I held you close like you were heaven
'Cause they approved; I looked like you do
And my new skin still smells like sin
But she has eyes they'll never see through

You'll see me holding her hand
Don't really care if you understand
You'll finally see me smile
  So hold your breath
       Come stay awhile

[Listening to "Got a Call" by Land of Talk]
