I'll Run


This war I was ‘fighting’

Has left me with broken bones,

Tattered clothes

Nothing left in my soul

I’ll run

And I’ll run

Until I find you,

I’m running

And I will find the gates of your heart

And I will break them down

This war I was ‘fighting’;

 

You know,

That war,

That war you never told me about.

I’ll run to you,

It was you that caused all the pain.

It was your heart that drifted away.

I tried to follow you,

I’ll run,

To you.

 

I’ve been fighting for so long,

And I’ve lost your war,

And this kingdom is gone,

I’ve lost your love.

I’ll run

Run to you.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” - Mad Hatter
