give me back forever


oh, weren't they just crazy words?
take them back, unbreak my heart and
return the smile you gave me not so very long ago

tell me this isn't real
and that no, you didn't take my heart away
yes baby, we're gonna be okay


we're gonna be just fine,
won't you, won't you say it just one more time
please, because you know you can,won't you make this disappear?

give me back
forever

you've got the key
to this jail you've locked me in
and even if you didn't,
i wouldn't know how to let myself out

won't you?
won't you give me back
forever

maybe, it'll be you

and so,
i'll relight my cigarettes
and finish off that bottle of wine.
yes my dear,the one that we were supposed to share on our anniversary.


i'll play those cds we used to listen to together,
and relive the memories that come with it.
i'll watch and rewatch that very first movie we watched together,
the one where i leaned over and kissed you first.


i'll read through those texts,
bury them inside me and then delete them.
so that it won't ring with such,
a painful reminder.


Pull the covers up and fix the old heater.
you're not around to keep me warm anymore,
but who's fault is that?


i'll keep hoping,
hoping and praying that this
will turn out to be,
no more than a nightmare.


and maybe,
just maybe.
the one waking me up to kiss away my tears,
will be you.
