I look into your dull gray eyes
And I search for the vibrant life
That once inhabited your soul.
Your inspiring words filled my ears
On that cold autumn day
When no one was around
And the sun was riding low
Like the jeans on your ex-girlfriend's hips.
Your haunting words chill my bones
On this dark autumn night
With no one here to hold me
And no stars in the sky to cover me
Like the blanket
In the back of your father's pick-up truck.
I try so hard to reach out to you,
I care so much that it hurts me inside.
I wonder if you'd ever let me hold you
Or if you'd ever let me take your hand
Without the others even knowing.
One tiny kiss and this would all go away.
One tiny lie and our lives would change.
One tiny life that seemed so big to me
Was taken and no one seemed to care.
