I don't want to take away from you the things we did,
The things we said,
Not ever, never.
Something pulls me close to you like a moth to a flame,
Like a music box unwinding,
You're winding.
I'm on my own,
I've got to go on,
But I can't go on forever.
If I could build a fortress of words and thoughts and broken dreams,
I would.
Something tells me deep inside,
That you're not here,
That you will never leave me.
But you could.
I'm on my own,
I've got to go on,
But I can't go on forever.
I've got to be strong,
But I can't go on forever.
I've got to go on,
But I can't go on forever.
