stealing my thoughts from across
the room who knew
this would never amount to anything
i thought we were something once
i watched my hand the way
it fit into yours the way i could say
nothing and yet you understood

you started thinking we were different
but i wasn't home i got back to you
later but you weren't alone

maybe i should say some thing
to kill the pain to make this go away
to remind you of who we are
again

noone's listening you want me
to think that it's better like this
but i cannot find any reasoning
in all of this silence.

i'm not so bad i thought
you knew i am not
the devil in disguise i am not
the one who hurt you
but maybe this is what you
had in mind and you only left
because i didn't leave you
behind

first.
