now you too?
you've come here to leave me?
you were a boy who read to me
and we looked at the sky and it's occupants
I gave you words, so kind and hopeful
I thought we had some good to give the world
I thought maybe you could understand
but now you've come again
like once before when we were new
or many times after when we had aged
you've come right up to my face
only to turn around and walk away
what did I do to deserve this pain?
if looking backwards will turn me to salt,
go ahead and send me to the ocean
so come on now, you who makes me cry alone
come now then walk away
just as you've always done and always will do
