The Ponytail Parades

Three sleepless nights
This isn't how it's supposed to be
But you're so good at
Taking your time to get back to me

I will wait for you forever
If you would just ask me
I thought that I could change you
But you changed me

It doesn't feel right
Holding someone else's hand
Together on phone lines
And living at two opposite ends

It scares me to think
That you could
Find takers other than me
And better than me

But your head is elsewhere
And I'm talking enough for both of us
When will you see it's not
So easy for me

You're careless
(I fall from your eyes)
And whispered
(Your eyes)

Insulting
(I)
And bruising
(Trusted)

And I thought
(I fall from your eyes)
That you said
(You said)
Things were improving
(Forever)

These laces
(I fall from your eyes)
Are untied
But my feet are
Still walking away
Away

I never thought that you could say these words
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words
(Don't say)
Is this really happening?

I never thought that you could say these words
(Don't say)
Is this really happening?
(That we can)
I never thought that you could say these words
(Don't say)
Is this really happening?
(That we can still be)

I never thought that you could say these words
(Don't say)
Is this really happening?
(That we can still be friends)

Erase my name from this page

How can you take all these days
(What is inside of me, what have I done?)
And throw them away
(Is this the only way that you will notice me?)

As I sit here waiting
(Dead words for closed ears all this is sung)
For you, for you

I stay up nights
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
Until stars leave the sky
(Why can't you look at me can you only see one side?)

Knowing what my dreams
(Your side, can take away)

Walk away from me
This night is done
