Dark and Night
I got lost in the middle of your riddle
miles away I sat and pondered
while you struggled and tried to fight
against a heart on the line
I took one chance and spilled my guts
just in case you didn't know
it echoed against a solid wall
crashing unheard to the wood floor
don't feel bad, it's not your fault
I could see how it all shakes down
the differences as plain as dark and night
you always saw what I couldn't hide
it all frays, that once thick tether
even duct tape couldn't hold it together
time moves on and I think its settled
then some thought will bring it back
it could be a dream or monsoon rain
the phases of the moon or a song's refrain
it churns and surfaces once again
that old heartache--my long lost friend
don't feel bad, it's not your fault
I could see how it all shakes down
the differences as plain as dark and night
you always saw what I couldn't hide
it all frays, that once thick tether
even duct tape couldn't hold it together
