I Don't Want Him To Go


I don't want him to go

But I've got nothing to show

I am angry and depressed

But no crimes have I confessed

There is no one I will trust

Yet I'm led by lust

I want him for tomorrow

But I do not wish for sorrow

That I know time will bring

Love is quite a thing

Making us so blind

And creeping from behind

It's lurking inside

And it's rules we must abide  

We can never catch themes

Of our desperate dreams

That make heads fly to the ceiling

But it's just a feeling

Yet it is my highest wall

And my most painful downfall

Before you begin

Know you will never win
