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
