I don't want to pity you
But look at the shape that you're in
We're far past a scenic-route
We're right back where we began
So you say you'll let fate decide
Whether you live or you die
And I'd say there's still fight in you
But I don't think there's a fight in you
You scream and my blood runs cold
Shows in chills that run down my arm
And you say it's a miracle
That you've caused nobody harm
So I sit by your windowsill
And think of the life that we built
False hope in cinder blocks
Real death and who we are
"You say that you understand, but you don't
I'm glad that you don't
You don't deserve to go through this
Just take me back to when we were nineteen
When life was ahead of me
Just like it seemed to be
Distort reality"
You said that you hate goodbyes
So you gave me a kiss goodnight
Sapphire to jasper eyes
A yellow rose, in midnight
You smiled and held my cheeks
Bare-breasted on top of me
We moved in symmetry
Your lips were recovery
So the world withered away
And our fingers locked in place
And as you came, you broke the frame
Of a portrait you tried to paint
Time passed and we moved on
Found a life where we belonged
We were older, but still young
Now our forties are almost gone
"I don't want to start here, I'm so tired
Can you please start over?
Tell me again
Who you fell in love with?
And was she reckless?
Do you even remember?"
Well, of course I remember
Yes, of course I remember
