The silver of your eyes is sickening
Because they were always so, so blue,
And in this moment I began to see
Exactly how you would hurt me to lose.
I've been out in the cold and burned by fire;
I'm nothing but what these scars have made me,
And as for you--oh, you and your dreams
You're exactly the dead end I didn't care to meet.
Excuses pave over the blatant tire tracks;
I'm so, so guilty, to the point of innocence.
Funny how time's never been able to slow
Funnier how its speed never will make sense.
It's terribly tragic, the way this one ends,
So I'll fold the corner and set it down.
Better off never knowing what happened that night
Even better left thinking you were never around.
Finish my thoughts, please, and turn the page,
Because I'm not going to ever be the same.
I don't want you,
Or anyone else,
To feel this love, this hate, this goodness,
This evil in us all
Until you're too late to be saved.
