Look me in the eye and promise me it will be okay.
Although it may be a lie, your voice saying those simple words will give me faith.
Hold my hands and bring me close,
cradle me through the tears tonight.
Although nothing but the background music sweetly lulling you to sleep,
I am here, yet hardly noticed
present, yet seemingly absent.
Kiss me now, and tell me it's over.
Gently caress my cheek, stand up and walk out the door.
Please just don't leave me hanging here
with nothing but surrender staining your lips
and your silhouette fading in the distance.
