The Earth Stood Still

The Earth stood still Dirty black shoes Ripped up jeans Stopping me on the road We were so young when I first met you October sky Dark March nights Birthdays in July I was 16 when I looked into your eyes But you took me Into your paradise Leaving me in blue skies Holding me in moonlights It was always you You and my blue sweater vest Countless days with no rest When I first met you The earth stood still But until In the end I was the one you had to kill Friends at first Lovers cursed Boys who fear for the worst I was too young to understand any love It was always you Seeing you on weekdays Leaving me with blood stains It was always you Believing you were mine Leaving me behind Love and running out of time You had your ways of making the earth stand still I was never the one that could fulfill Running far Kissing me in the car The only reason Holding me under the stars Creating new found scars Times move on Like the seasons Only you Wearing your dirty ripped jeans You were only 16 Always you Wishing for the ending Losing me and ascending Never me Running like the water Sell my soul for a dollar I was too young to understand you You stayed around to become a tattooed scar Moving on like there was never a start A feel of grief could last this long A feel of grief for someone who is too young I knew you would leave me on those dark April nights Leaving you under the stage lights I’ve come to forget you in six months time I know you miss me now that my feelings died And now I’ll leave you in the May sky But it was only me Something we could never be When I first met you the earth stood still In the end you were the one I had to kill
