I've let my heart grow tall
To your oddities, faults and all
And I bend myself to see your face
In this cold sickened place
So I pen emotions on thick paper
In hopes that you'll feel it later
Pining slowly and wasting away
It's cliche, but you're my night and day
Well I'm light to your black hole eyes
I can't escape, but know I've tried
Love is as endless as the seasons
Correlating with my reasons
Verbs and tired figures of speech
Are always six feet too far from reach
I've let my heart grow tall
But would you catch me should I fall?
Gazing blindly at your red shoes
Fighting battles that I know I'll lose
Some would say that it's not worth it
But I'd be a fool to not be perfect
By filling myself with something new
Something and someone just like you
Well I'm light to your black hole eyes
I can't escape, but know I've tried
Love is as endless as the seasons
Correlating with my reasons
Verbs and tired figures of speech
Are always six feet too far from reach
In my youth I would count my past lives
Permutations have gone and run themselves dry
But you're still so young
The picture of what I've wanted to become
You're still so young
I've let my love grow tall
But you never answer when I call
It isn't a question, so much as a statement
Do you know how much your words meant?
I'm not creative, and I'm not smart
But know that you're in my heart
And my head's in my hands and I'm in the hallway
Waiting for a time that you'll say
I couldn't stand a chance.
I couldn't hold a candle up to your light
And I know that I could never be with you.
