Remain

Seeing the look upon your face, it chilled me to my core
And yet your eyes remain averted, you never look at me anymore
So now I'm left broken and hurting, neglected and unseen
My place here remains uncertain
'Til I learn to use my wings and leave
But try as I might to turn back the clocks
The time remains the same

I cut out my heart in confidence and gifted it to you
But you threw it in my face
Your hand just like a dagger pressed up against my chest
I was foolish to think that with broken wings
I could fix this broken nest

Because a heart, a hope and feeling is all I truly need
But in your act of treason you robbed me of all three
Are there warnings I should be heeding
Muffled by the sound of hopeful dreams
Forming a euphony misleading me throughout the lies I've seen

I cut out my heart in confidence and gifted it to you
Still your eyes remain averted, as you refuse to see this through
Your hands just like a dagger pressed up against my chest
But I'd happily die
To let you know that I wish you all the best
Said I'd happily die
To get in just one last word

And leave the rest
The way I thought I had left you
Better off unspoken, cause each sentence only cuts me deeper
But these burdens are much too heavy, to carry and to keep them
Upon these broken wings
And though you could never know this
For just a glance I'd scream anything you wanted
I might not have been the smartest, I may not have done it right
But I know I just can't help it
Cause all these regrets leave me lying awake alone at night

Its been more than a fucking year now
And all of my dreams remain of you
But it feels as if I'm a ghost
A phantasm that you see straight through
And the pounding of my heartbeat
As it's laying there right on the ground
Seems as if it muffles all the warnings
That had always been around

And I wish we'd spent more time alone
But the clocks refuse to be reversed
And you spend no time reassuring me
So I remain broken and hurt
And laying next to you I'd shine a light
To see it reflecting in your eyes
But they remain sealed shut
So I may as well remove mine

And if I could, I'd ask you to stay
Not that you'd reply anyway
As your eyes remain averted
And I remain unseen
While my place there remains forbidden
I'll remain here with you in my dreams
