Oh...

Oh...

But I thought you didn't love me

anymore

all those yesterdays ago

and now

when my legs stop shaking

and there's no more quaking

on my little piece of earth

There is your face

When you wrote the script

I followed word for word

I cried on cue

I broke in two

turned upside down

and kissed the ground

You walked on

I burned my knees

making deals for you

bribing God when

I had no grace

I bled your taste

And you were free

Now, when my line is straight

and the sun hangs closer

to my shoulders

Someone told you

that I broke character

I found happy

And the kind of love

that doesn't cost dirty pennies

or require me to gasp for air

that isn't there

And to you it seems like

That's not right

You found tears now

to wash away your sad mistakes

You found pretty words

to wrap your fears in

While your knees burn in your

golden shadow

And I would shed a tear for you

I would lend an ear to you

or give a hand to help you stand

when you slipped

But I can't

It isn't written

in my script
