  I looked into your eyes tonight
and felt something come alive
that I've missed over all of these stale years
as we've done nothing but
pretend that evrything will be ok just as
long as we make it past that last
shot of Whiskey together.

  the world curled up into its Saturn glow
as we tried to make it all work out
for the better half and even though
those wishes and all those shaking hands
left me standing here with only a memory
to make me believe in nothing but
empty miracles again I almost grabbed
hold of a heart beat that got lost
among the stars again.

  it fell harder than ever before
as my broken heart should have
known when to say, "Enough."
but I'm like the one who lives life
on his emotions even though I know
I should slow down there are
times when nothing can stop me
from falling so far down that
I can never stand up ever again
without a help of another tear drop
gliding past my face.

  it wasn't as if I was suppose to
know what love feels like
just because I'm already numb
and today showed me no different
as love seems to only last for
a second for me and then it
disappears into the thin air forever
that makes it so hard for me to
breathe.
