In the heat of the night,
I cover my head,
Hiding from words,
I thought would never be said.
You scream through tears,
I can’t believe my eyes,
My hero is crying,
Because of my lies.

I made a mistake,
I should have thought,
Before I put it into action,
I never believed I’d get caught.
But now my world,
Is tumbling down,
What ca I say,
To turn it around,
There’s nothing to say,
Nothing you’ll think true,
So now I know,
I must say goodbye to you.

Your tears stop like rain,
Being held in the sky,
Your disbelieving eyes,
Question me why.
I shake my head,
And stop for a while,
Then I lean in close,
And give him a smile.

‘You know why’,
I whisper in his ear,
‘It’s only because,
I know I can’t stay here.
I’m never at peace,
Thinking I might loose,
And it breaks my heart,
To think I might choose.
To leave you behind,
And walk out that door,
Never seeing you again,
And yet I know I want more.
I want you to hold me,
To tell me it’s alright,
That tomorrow will bring,
A new kind of light.
Only I know it’s not true,
It never will be,
But you’ll move on,
Just wait and see’.

So I pass through the door,
Putting this chapter on the shelf,
Knowing the only one to blame,
Is myself.
