"Because Of Me"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved
(27/11/02)

An honset tear's bleeding from my eye
Silently wandering down my face,
Dying it's crawling over my lip
Leaving a trail I cannot erase.
My heart's black eyes face the naked truth
I have been evicted from your place,
My dream of a wonderland is lost
Now I'm singing my songs in outer space.
Confused with dispair I run away
Following the old road to nowhere,
I'm beaten liveless by tomorrow
Gasping for my last breath of air...
And it's all because of me,
Everything's because of me...

Under the haze of a broken heart
The illusion of my fingertips,
Gently brushes your silky soft skin
Like the tail lights of our relationship.
The ghost of our past is haunting me
Everytime I close my eyes at night,
I'm soaking my pillow and my bed
Covered by the shadows of my sigh.
Painted with the color of nothing
I put my life in the hands of faith,
Trying to understand loneliness
While a voice's whispering it's too late...
And it's all because of me,
Everything's because of me...

Pockets full of nothing besides my hands,
Got my walls filled with empty picture frames.
Got a memory filled with guilty stands,
Sunny days all full of rainy days stains...
And it's all because of me,
Everything's because of me...

this was a sad topic to write about, but i think you did it well. we can't always help everything. it's not always your fault, even when you believe it to be.
hope things look up for you.

“A single choice can build destinies, or destroy them.”

Getting away, isn't Running away.
