To me your eyes are satellites glowing in the dead of night, a smile like summer rain. As I am lost in midnight, you shine on bright, it's only in my dreams I call you mine.
Oh how far we have fallen, how far we have come to die like this. I have crawled through the dirt for the last time, but I still leave a light on for you. Oh how far we have fallen, how far we have come to give up like this. I'm exhausted. I'm defeated. But I still leave a light on for you.
I'll always leave a light on for you.
I drag regrets like anchors through the long & lonely nights that chase the days. Storm clouds stain the ceiling where we lay & lost ourselves in sheets & words that rust in the rain.
Tracing footsteps through backstreets searching for our remains, I have found nothing but my own faults & fractures. If only I wasn't me, & you weren't you, we could be perfect but I'm sick & you're tired, & it hurts but I understand. How can you love someone who hates them self? How can you live with someone who's barely alive? You cannot.
But I still leave a light on for you.
