hey, guess what?
you gave up.
you gave in.


it should come as a surprise to me,
but it isn't, because
hey, guess what?
i've been doing the exact same.

and i can't be sure
if it's such a negative.

-
you and i,
let's say day and night.
let's say you were right.
but at the end of the day it
doesn't matter who wronged who and who said what,
does it matter who used who?
no, because it isn't about that.
fallen opinions are just our own. if we can't
conquer a couple of thoughts and words, then i'm
sorry to say we're both pathetically weak and sick
to the heart.

you're medicine sweet,
and i'm just not.
doorbells and jar-bells and antique-brown charms
can't ever put us back together again.

but let me say my last few words.

listen [to me],
silver-tongued raccoons only come out at night
and steal what you got without telling a lie
and beautiful dreams shift back and forth, but when
reality breaks
it'll all fall down.

winged books and magic tricks
through early morning and stupid pricks,
bright yellow lights will stain your brain
but hey, the magic dies and i'm catching my
last train.

[so i won't be here]

-
hey, i
probably didn't tell you what
he tried to do to me,
but would you really have listened?

there are absolute fairtytales in the making of
fictitious truths and anger mixed with
tears flowing down my troubled skies.

dictionaries are useless because
why would anyone look up a word
when they can make one up?

and why dream a dream when you
can run in a nightmare?

i'm telling you right now
hey sweetheart, i'm dying.
but you, oh, you just weren't listening.


-
if you pick one, pick one
and not a dozen and one.

to me,
roses aren't red
and violets aren't blue
only the ones who bled
could mutter a who

skies should be green
and emeralds, pink
don't give a hoot
what others might think.


-
tomorrow, we'll be traveling
on the same road,
in fact soon i'll be in your city
with those lights and that small-city
scent,
but
i'll look away and pretend i
didn't even know you.
i won't even look for the
person you used to be.

-
sweetheart, you gave up.
and so did i.
so when it comes to that day,
let's all just lie.
say it was everything it was meant
to be and promise that someday
we'll have it again.

-
it's never going to be 'normal'
because we aren't.

and now i realize,
the worst day of your life
must have been the day we
met each other.
"everything was everything
but baby it's the last show
everything could be everything
but it's time to say goodbye so
get your last fix, and your last hit
grab your old girl with her new tricks
honey yeah, it's no surprise
i got lost in your brown eyes"
lady gaga

-
i've been trying to tell you.
