Peaking In Your Ear

found the note that wasn't for me to see

a screen shot into a world in her head

it had all changed, we are now walking dead

two different paths that will not cross again

I was down and out, lost in my own head

it's called depression is what I had said

the highs are in the clouds 

the lows were like being lost in the crowd

it was a coin flip that shouldn't be

50/50 just wasn't for me - she thought

who could live with those odds at home

the fight was over, we fought and fought

in the end we somehow both lost.
