The moonlight dies on my coat As I walk with hands in my pockets Head down against the wind howling to break my spirit The streetlamps put me in the spotlight But there’s no audience, not today The song melts away and words lose their meaning And now I’m just wandering... looking for you
You see, I never figured out what the storm meant That endless torrent of anger I.. I took it so personally But it wasn't me you hated Ultimately, no It was you, and I tried to tell you The more negativity you spread in our world The darker it becomes And you know, the worst part of all of this Is that there's no love in your life Not for me, not for yourself, not for anyone
And what pains me more than even your absence Is that... I don't know... I'm not even sure if you can learn how It takes a village to raise a child, you know And it sounds harsh to me But I think a part of yours is missing I don't know if you're depressed or what But the thing you never saw was I was there to help you You never saw that You never realised that I wasn't your enemy That pains me the most
We should never forfeit the good things in life because of the bad I don't cry for myself, why would I? I'm content with my lot I suppose but Seeing you the way you are? I can't handle that Believe me I tried, how I tried Everyone these days writes about broken dreams Whether love is worth the pain You know, sometimes the most valuable things Are the hardest to hold onto
