In the grey
CC BY-NDI am here
So why can't you let me in
I wait
So why do you push me away
I listen
So why do you stop telling me
All these things I promise to you I've always meant
But the things you've promised me you've always forgotten
Your words flow through me like sweet sounds of spring
My words come in and the next second they're shut out like the winter cold
I show you time and time again how much you mean to me
How you make me yarn for your company
Crave the feeling of your eyes on me
But you treat me like I'm just there
Like you don't know that the only thing running through my mind is your every move
You know me better than anyone else
Yet we are here
Telling each other just enough to keep wondering
And never to be fully aware
I'm always guessing with you
Wondering what you'll say today
For maybe today will be the day you fully let me in
Or maybe today will just be the day I chose to except you leaving me in the grey
