Hidden Behind the Bars

Your sweet eyes looking through the gray
I hate to picture you living that way
Everything I have to, I can no longer say
Why did you have to screw up?, Why couldn't you stay?

Now, nothing can be fixed, nothing can be right
All I have are memories of that one perfect night
Tears put out the candle, shutting out the light
Darkness covering your face, no longer in sight

Thank you though, I needed time apart
Time to clear my mind and mend my heart
Maybe after, we can try to restart
Just remember, my love for you will never depart

The truth could never hurt as bad as the lies
Now my lungs are filled with shallow ifs and whys
I can hold in my tears but not my cries
I'll say no words, just hears my sighs

With this time, we'll both change and start over new
maybe it was always ment to be me and you
Could there be a reason for the sh*t I've been put through
Or maybe I was just blind and your eyes blocked my view

Looking up at the night sky and finding mars
The distance between us just adds more scars
Everything now can be thrown to the stars
Locked up with you, hidden behind the bars
