Sleepless In Syracuse

There were so many things that i wanted to say

But i held my tongue to keep that smile on my face.

was it a heavy heart that made you fall from grace?

So lets look back you were just eighteen

with a face cut our of a movie screen

and it's been since then i know her heart is my home

and its the only place I'll stay

And then you walked in with a song from a pen

that sings of everything you say.

With a songs so sweet but the words so weak

Its just the devil's part you'll play.

How do you sleep? How do you breathe?

What did your eyes look like when i was falling apart?

How could I be? How could I see?

The way your heart stopped burning

when he wasn't exactly what you wanted me to be?

It was the best of times and years gone by

but with one breath an apology and his name on her lips.

Between the walls and the floor had kept him secret.

Now it's in every room in this house and I'm screaming

at the shadows until my lungs give out.

She's the only thing that i wanted to keep

cause its her voice still sing me to sleep.

I wasn't too sure how to say in a song

how the tone of the moment was just so wrong.

Who needs the heartache anyway?

And every little line every stroke of the pen

reminds me of a time that was lost

when we didn't know the thoughts and whispers...

I will never be the same
