the song you stole

music notes used to dance for me when I played the ivory keys little birds flying high bringing back pieces of the great blue sky now they muddle at my feet I’m drowning in puddles of ebony ink I played for you don’t you remember? my music was your medicine I just wish it hadn’t become your addiction melodies to drown out the misery no one understands that better then me let’s drink to the memories it would have been better to ignore I still go back to before treble clefs made me tremor and your heart turned to cold december your lullabies that sung me to sleep haunt my nightmares without relief when people ask my favorite song I freeze isn’t funny the irony that the way I escaped became the very thing that keeps me chained sing me your siren song see how long it takes for me to break under the waves shells hold the echo of the love I used to know I’ve forgotten the words And I hum the harmony I know I’m only making it worse voice of an angel but now its a curse smooth jazz smile whirlwind romance but now I see I fed into your fantasy for you I played until my fingers ached I couldn’t stop even though it was killing me I tried to tell you but you weren’t listening my heart keeps beating to your rhythm I was too innocent to recognize your deception music notes now weep for me because for you I played my last heartstring
