Please, Piano Boy
Please, piano boy, get out of my head
It's not that I don't want you there; it's just not worth the bloodshed
Because you deserve it all, and all I am is not enough
So I'm bleeding, trying to forget you instead
So please, piano boy, get out of my head
Please, piano boy, don't play that piano piece
It blurs my mind, seeps into my veins, each time you touch the keys
You see the world like I do; I can tell by how you play
The music finds its cadence, but my soul still craves release
So please, piano boy, don't play that piano piece
I could lie and say the music doesn't lead me back to you
That I never catch your name on my tongue out of the blue
That I can still live my life
And I promise you, I've tried
How hard can it be to make myself believe that's true?
Yet I can't even listen to Chopin anymore
Because every piece makes me think of you
And when I said I'd never been in love before
You entered my life right on cue
And in the silence, I still hear the melodies you've made
Lingering in the air, so sweet and clear
So, every time I think, my thoughts of you begin to fade
I try to forget, but they're all I can hear
In between the notes, you're all I can find
Now, I can't hear Chopin without you on my mind
Somehow, you find a way to come across in every etude
Stormy passion finds its way through
The same storm found in your gaze
And in each nocturne's theme, like in a sweet and tender dream
I find your smile in the scene
Floating amidst each phrase
Now, I can't help but listen to Chopin even more
To remind me of the moments I've spent with you
Now I can say I've finally been in love before
It's more beautiful and sweet than I ever knew
And in the silence, I can hear the melodies you've played
Like gentle raindrops falling on my ear
And I do all I can to make sure they never fade
Because, above all else, I long to keep you near
In between the notes, you were all I found
Now I listen to Chopin just to keep you around
Because I find you inside every sound
Please, piano boy, let me keep what I've found
