Midnight skies
darken with bittersweet tears
wept by the guarding angels
that try to see past heartbroken smiles.

Singing softly throughout the night
like a soft sweet lullabye
meant to bring peace
but only ushers nightmares inside.

As if on cue,
the pattering of rain begins on tin roofs,
crying across voiceless faces
as the angels mourn the words
we'll never be able to speak
and fall their gazes
to a world that's more torment than peace.


Hollow sounds of pain and anger
echo across the walls of
forever and for always fairy tale dreams
while words with meaning get lost in the dull stars.

So take my hand
just one last time and tell me
that we'll never end
with a sweet kiss to last lifetimes to come.


Take my hand again
and lead me away from
the suns I see setting in your eyes
and the glitter-gold of my best dreams come true,
because this is the beginning of my breakdown.

Don't lie to me this time;
I was never meant to clear your skies
or paste my name across your wrists,
and this will be my downfall.


Don't sugar-coat the goodbyes
that are going to all-too-soon fall from your lips
because it will be the end of me
when you walk away without a backward glance.

I'm starting my downfall slide
into the belief that nothing
could ever be right again
because you walked away.

Don't break my heart again
by pulling me into your fragile hugs
or telling me that everything will be okay
if I can push myself beyond tomorrow.

I'm letting go of roses on my pillow
and all the words you'll never mean;
you might as well disappear into forever,
because I can't keep from forgetting you like this.

When you leave just keep on walking
out the door and out of my life
so I can start to put the pieces
of my shattered heart together again.

And you know
I'll never be the same when you leave
because you've always been a part of me
and you chose to walk away from all that matters.

And I know
I'll never lose your imprints from my skin
or stop feeling your name whisper through my veins,
but I stopped bleeding myself dry
long before you broke me.

Keep on walking...
you'll be nothing but a memory
soon enough.


Forget everything we've ever said
the love we pledged to share.
Walk out of my life
and into my damning thoughts.

You just simply
couldn't love me anymore.
Keep on going
disappear into the pain-lined horizon.

I swear I won't bleed
too much when you leave.
I've hurt too much, cried to much
I'm just too numb to care for you anymore.
