Tears slowly form in the corner of my eyes,
My smile fades, and my heart rips at its seams.
It's not the same as it was before.
You tell me you love me,
And your words, seem forced.
The feeling once sensed behind them,
Is replaced with emptiness,
The bitter sound of nothingness.
You're there, but then again, you're not.
Through hundreds of miles of country,
I see your eyes wander,
I see your thoughts wander,
And I feel your heart,
Slipping further...and further,
Away from mine.
Then you speak, and I hear nothing but,
The bitter sound of nothingness.
Nothing's wrong, everything's fine.
Say it over and over, hide from the truth.
Tell me I'm crazy, tell me to forget it,
But I won't ignore it.
The marks on my face, from the slap
Of everytime you open your mouth,
Are imprinting...everlasting...still stinging with,
The bitter sound of nothingness. |
