You must have mistaken me -
for someone you once knew.
my soul is black as night -
and there's nothing i can do.
it must be a familiar face -
that drew you near my way.
leave, you don't know me -
see the shadow's too big for your day.
maybe it was a similar laugh -
perhaps we giggle the same.
but there's no joy for me to express -
so i don't know why you came.
could it be our eyes -
alike they shimmer.
i'm sorry, but my sparkle is gone -
mine are much dimmer.
to my lips were you drawn -
is the person's and mine just as bold.
certainly 'tis not me you seek -
my lips, the bullets left them cold.
