Poem/lyrics about breaking up and being unable to emote in front of the other person.
I thought for a minute about the lights
blazing across the sky,
I wondered how close I could get to the edge
before I'd fall.
Never before have I cried--- so hard. . .
but it's over now-----

Bah--bum--bah--bum--bum...

As you walked away
I asked if you'd stay with me
for a minute---
while I light my cigarette?
But what I really meant. . .
went unsaid---

(It was I LOVE YOU)

It's so silly how we fool ourselves--
into thinking,
that it'll all be okay.
Who is it that tells
all the little girls---
that their "Prince is on his way?"

Liars...

I think I'll just stand here
out in the rain,
and enjoy this moment,
Soak in my refrain!!
Wash away my tears---
blend away the pain,
you can't see me now. . .
No, you don't see me now!
Crying in the rain.

Bah--bum--bah--bum--bum...

I dared myself to see
just how far you'd gone--
or if you'd turned back.
But you were just
a tiny speck
on the horizon now. . .

Bah--bum--bah--bum--bum--bum...

The desolation spread from
within my chest,
into my head--
it could not spare my eyes. . .

How dare the moon
so beautiful
begin to rise. . .
when I just
began to
fall.*Moon*

Bah--bum--bah--bum--bum. . .
