lyrics

When we were together
For as long as I remember
I melt when I see those eyes just like the first time
Your bent and your broken with words hardly spoken
Lines that could never be wrong
They should be sung
They all should be sung
You’re a ghost in the room
A portrait with colors unknown
So why is that all that you’ve shown?
I don’t know

Open up to the unknown
Unlock the door and let me in
The night is cold and shivering
I want to know why your holding back from everything like everything’s a dream
And why
Tell me why
And I promise that forever I will never ask another question
I don’t know
I keep waking up a different person
Trying not to ever let it show
You’re a ghost in the room
A portrait with colors unknown
Safely armed with a smile but trapped in denial
And no one could ever come close
You’re wasting the ability to change the world like you’ve changed me

It’s adding up, enough is enough
It’s been long and overdue
Wasting worries on all of the bullshit
All the good in life her fingers let slip through
And when I say yes she follows it up with oh no’s
And I find that so sweet
But it’s driving me crazy
I’m just trying to lift up this curse
I just want her to know what she’s worth to me
