Hazel Eyes


I fell off a bridge into the abyss,

All that was waiting for me was I'm sorry with a kiss,

And I'm unsure of where you went,

Cuz every time I've fallen down you've helped me up again,

Like in my car the night I cried, When the child in me died,

Please I beg of you my friend, Never bring me back to then,

Oh my life these past four years,

Always felt so commandeered,

Think of now and then last fall,

Oh my sense of self's evolved,

And I finally realized,

That I've been dealt the shortest straw,

Not surprising after all,

And though I've tried to overcome,

Oh I think the darkness won,

And I finally realize, Finally realize,

I've lost myself

Well look at you from way back when,

Pick a time and think of then,

And a song that you would play,

On your darkest Winter's day,

All your lights were set to dim,

Through the night you'd think of him,

Dry your eyes dear comb your hair,

Call my name and I'll be there,

So I can help you realize, Help you realize,

That you're a diamond in the rough,

But you're worn, You've had enough,

You're surprised that I see through your lies,

You're a village in a storm,

Oh you're beaten and you're worn,

Lose yourself and see what you will find,

Well I’m still stuck gazing at your hazel eyes,
