and when I look for you
I only find me
I only find my own words
promises to myself that you are what you say
that you love me
but what assurance do I have?
how could you leave me so empty?
so lacking in proof that you care?
and when I look back at towering St. Paul's Cathedral
I can only think of you
and how you used to be so easy to access
why do you choose now to deny me of you?
now when I'm so near leaving
now that times will be so much harder
you pull yourself just out of my reach
taunting me with your irrational distance
you say that you'll be back
that you really do care
but what assurance do I have
when all I know is how different you are
from the beauty you used to be?
and St. Paul's holds nothing for me now
