You were pleasing to the eye
Almost criminal underneath
But this was your alibi,
It meant you never had to try.
You were the centre of the world,
Like a new kid on the block
You got all the attention you deserved,
Yeah, the heads would all turn,
But you don't remember me
I was that face in the crowd
That was always tricky for you to see
I was too bourgeoisie.
We never stopped for conversation,
I must have the made the wrong decision
Along the way, but it's so hard to say
And now...
These times have grown old,
This new chapter unfolds,
I sit among the human race
I'm just waiting to evolve.
I could say I miss you after all this time,
But how can you miss something you never had?
You were almost out of sight,
But I heard you from the dark
Where I was wondering that night,
It almost felt too right.
You were the light I was looking for,
A silent prayer and you headed my call,
All I got was white noise back
But it was worth it after all.
You still aim to please,
You're like the new Nightingale
and I'm your disease,
But you'll never find the cure for me
and I'll be willing to make a bet,
That nobody's perfect but
I'm the best you'll ever get,
I know it's hard to accept.
These times have grown old,
This new chapter unfolds,
I sit among the human race
I'm just waiting to evolve.
I could say I miss you after all this time,
But how can you miss something you never had?
Our time has grown old
So I'll move along
I'll ebb into the depths of time
While you're staying strong.
I could say I miss after all after all,
But how can you miss something you never had? |
