So, tell me

So tell me
how green are my eyes when i cry
how bright do they shine when I'm broken
are they like the sun
or the moon
or the stars
when i lie alone tonight

how sweet is my voice when i sigh
how great can i mask my depression
how good have i got at trying
to lie and hide my imperfections

and why wont the light ever shine
when will it kill off this darkness
how can i not envy those who've got love
when I'm just a muffed up mess

it never gets this cold in Colorado
and i tremble at every word you speak

its like a new found coldness
a constant gnawing at my skin

don't make me feel this pain again!
