In my head,
Nothing ceases, as if it were in a movie
The beetles from your garden talk to me
Of the crescent moons on your cheek,
And the tiny trail beneath your feet.
The tales
Hiding under your your hair are too much to steal
The void below your neck, warm when you breathe
The shadow of the waves, always in my dreams,
Your eyes should've been blue, they love the sea.
This is for you to know,
If I could do it again, maybe I'd still let you go.
Because the light in your eyes,
never fits in with mine,
Baby I'm always too frightened,
You need someone brighter.
In my head,
I fall through all of these stages.
I see you but still lose you in phases.
Get terribly lost inside the pages,
Of the photographs
Heaving through all of our albums,
Locked away, I'll pretend that I can't find them.
But I remember it all too well.
This is for you to know,
If I could do it again, maybe I'd never let you go.
And for the light in your eyes,
They could sink in with mine,
Baby for you I could've been a fighter,
Maybe I'd be someone brighter.
