It’s funny how nothing can ever truly change
The same old thoughts with a different name
Just a few more lines drawn upon my aging face
Another year to find ourselves in another place

I wasted the best of my years on a fruitless pursuit
Time I wish I could have to give to you
So you might know the man I was supposed to be
So you might get the chance to get the best of me

And, so each day with you is an endless dream
Waltzing amid the watchful and the asleep
Beauty, just a fleeting moment of our youth
But, I think I might like to grow old with you

To watch the light on your face in the setting sun
To laugh and sing as if we were still young
To grasp your hand within the fold of mine
To live as if we no longer believed in time

It’s funny how life passes us along the way
While I’m so enraptured with your loving gaze
And I would have loved you under any other name
Some things can never truly change

The Wretched and Pathetic

Well, I woke last night to a vision in a dream
And another day steals the breath from out of me
You lead me down with questions I cannot believe
And you come so close, I forget to breathe

In my bed, I hear you whisper things I could never say
And you don’t mind, at least, you never seemed to care
The lines were drawn before I could even get away
Now, you move so fast, I wonder if you’re even there

I’m all alone, or that’s just the way you make me feel
Oh, I don’t know. I only know what you say is real
The lies I told were carbon copies I’d heard before
That you once sold me when you were feeling bored

You kiss my lips like the softest touch of silk and lace
And hold my heart like something so easily replaced
I never learned where you go to so swiftly forget
To never feel the lingering weight of old regrets

In my head, I hear you whisper things I could never say
But, I know you don’t mind ‘cause I know you aren’t there
The lines were drawn so fast I could never get away
You were gone, and I knew you never really cared
