Orbit

The center of your universe is bigger than mine
Like a black hole, you pulled me in
Around your sun, I revolved in time
To the tempo of you again

Your gravity is dragging me down
To crash and burn in your sky
You plucked out my star and cast it down
But never gave a reason why

Looking at you I burnt out my eyes
Too brilliant you shine, turn night into day
I feel your heat on my face and your ice in my back
I see what you do ain't what you say

Am I spinning around or dizzy from you
Are you running from me or am I backing away
Your love for me waxes and wanes
Pull me along then throw me away
