Another Cliché Tragedy

by Stef   Apr 30, 2005


This is so cliche, and yet I’m still afraid
Cry just a little over mistakes I’ve made
Dancing alone in the rain to clear my head
Cuz I’m so perfectly broken by things you said
Pray for the night to remove all my sin
And beg for strength before I fall for you again
Holding tight to your hand I try to just leave
You never tried to fool me or make me believe
So I stray from the truth and turn straight to you
Running away from myself, just like I always do
Singing along with a song I’ve never even heard
I confessed my soul to you; you said not a word.
Enough is enough but in comparison it’s not
Everything was given but in the end I just forgot
I bet my life on a passing phase once more
But I’m paying with more than I bargained for
A simple wish made to the midnight sky
Will not cross your mind when it’s time for goodbye
I overanalyse each action you choose to take
Just like you overlook every heart that you break
Pleading with moonlight never got me that far
I awoke still bleeding for everything you are
But there’s not point in crying over silly mistakes
When this is so cliche, and I’m still so afraid.
