What It Means, by bedazzled Subscribe to rss feed for bedazzled

I suffocate,
I cannot sit here and fade away.
A stain on the page
of your dirty notebook, darling.

All I know is this is wrong,
this isn't where we both belong.
I'm going to take these cobwebs,
veil my eyes so you can't see.

  I was there to stand in the rain
  with you until you left me 
  in the storm.
  I can take half of the blame
  but how can you say you were
  never wrong?
  Now everything's so fucked up,
  I sit here watching
  as we both pretend.
  Maybe you just forgot
  what it means to say that
  you're a friend.

How could you
just turn away when I was down?
Malleable,
your opinion is just wax, my darling.

All I know is this is right,
this darkness could become light.
I'm going to take these scars
and write the words so you can see.

  I was there to share all your pain,
  I listened to every word
  of your wars.
  I know that nobody's perfect
  so how can you say you are
  without flaws?
  Now everything's so fucked up,
  Somehow I believe
  this will never mend.
  Maybe you just forgot
  what it means to say that
  you're a friend.  

I never meant to say
goodbye.
You promised me,
you promised me,
you promised...
