Cleaned away all these faded stains That my soul could not erase The design of the dotted line That my finger slowly traced It's so easy to cry and I've Never had to force any tears So, it's safe to just cut away Before thought can interfere This burning in me lasted, filling my veins The sun beneath the clouds continued my way But then it gleamed in front of me Like a star it dropped and blocked my vision Simple yet unfinished Love is a palette mixed With colors I have never known Folded it up and watched it fall A crumpled mess of everything Even if it's "not my problem" And though I try to hide it deep within my heart The tears in my eyes amount to lies And cut away into another day To let go of this aching soul That I stole away so deep Quietly, I began to speak As I strained to find the key I'd created my own charade And a world that I'd concieved All the colors began to run In this lie that I believed I gave away the bags I'd filled with regret I threw away the thoughts That I thought to forget The me that felt so underprepared Was spared to muddle on in agony The memory inside was resting ablaze Until the night began to shift it away And as I tried to recognize Then I realized the name had been misplaced Simple yet unfinished Love is a palette mixed With colors I have never known Folded it up and watched it fall A crumpled mess of everything Even if it's "not my problem" And though I try to hide it deep within my heart The tears in my eyes amount to lies And cut away into another day The person I loved so yesterday Is suddenly being cut away
