Same Old Story of Boy Meets Girl...

by Behind Blue Eyes   Jan 14, 2007


Inside I scream quietly
As I blink away my tears
I smile my crooked smile
While I hide away my fears

Nothing seems to take away this pain
The dagger in my heart keeps getting shoved farther down
It's as if everyone seems to be watching me
Slowly and painfully drown

I don't want to hide my feelings
Through another fake smile
Sorrow is me
My happiness has gone out of style

After everything we've been through
I was still willing to wait
But you gave up trying long ago
You believe it's just too late

So there's no hope in wishing
Praying for it would be a joke too
But I still dream of it every night
And hope our downfall isn't true.

I wake each morning
With pillows tear stained
While my thoughts and wonders
Continue to go unexplained

So, here's to another broken heart
And to long nights, so dark and so grim
Where memories tell the same old story of boy meets girl,
And she falls much harder than him.
