One last time --iCyFiRe

Will you write me one more song?
I'll promise to listen this time.
I'll be able to feel your touch through words...
Words that were written on a crumpled piece of paper that will never fade away.
So when I'm alone and broken,
I can listen to your song and read your heart,
and it will make me believe that you still care.
Tonight I will try one more time,
maybe this time you won't walk away,
and we can keep on driving until the ocean surrounds us,
I'll breathe in and think of you next to me.

And if tonight,
I say too much and I say what's on my mind,
then if you leave me one more time,
I'll apologize for not keeping things inside,
just the way you like it.
But I feel that these words need to be said,
or I'll go insane standing next to you in an empty room,
voices to a whisper and the ceilings so high.
Say it once more,
that's all I need to go on.
Afterwards, you can shred me up all you want and leave me here,
I just want those words to be said again.
I won't follow you this time,
I'll let you run away and I'll never bother you again.
I'll take my slow walk home under a dark blue night,
wondering where you went to and what you're thinking at this moment.
I'll keep on walking alone,
until the ocean surrounds me and I am no longer in this town.
I will breathe in and think of you
as the water fills my lungs and I slowly drown.
I will be fine only in dreams,
so never think of me and I'll be alright.
It's how I'd want it to be.
