(no title) (original) (raw)

eh...i wrote this yesterday when i was sitting on the riverwalk. its corny and its me jumping the gun, but fuck it--i thought i'd share it with you anyways.

When you play with fire you're bound to get burned
You think after all i've failed by now i would have learned
The water is beautiful and the sun beats down on my face
How i'd love to share it with her and make this our hiding place

There's no words I could say to change things now
You've changed your mind about me without explaining how
I gave you my best and I gave you my all
Yet you push me away after promising to be there.
Why?

The sun appears again at dusk to wave "goodbye!"
it's like a divine message saying "don't let her make you cry"
He wants the best for me and I want the best for her.
Perhaps i'll soak it in and learn the songs of the birds
I doubt they have hairache and pain
I doubt she really feels the same.

How lucky I felt to have her in my arms
A girl I longed for just asleep in my arms
And I stayed up all night just holding her tight
Everything seemed alright.
But when you play with fire you're bound to get burned.
