Your eyes can slice through mine
to cut right between the lies
I construct to keep what's true
but I won't change the lines for you

your voice stays
after you've gone
moves to my chest
a sweet sun song
that warms the sky
and melts my mood
but I won't change my mind, it's true

the notes you text are sweet
they betray what most people see
to make me smile
and ease these blues
but I won't fall in love to lose

my jagged edge of reality,
it's not always right or pretty to see
choices can hang in the air like clouds
but lately the thunder isn't as loud

your eyes see right through mine
quickly cut to the chase despite
what I know you'd never do
guess that's not what matters to you

because you hear
the dark in me
the pains turns into melody
a sweet sun song
woven with truth
but I won't change time with you

I'll give in
just a little bit
and maybe
make a rhyme
or two

with you
