tell a story with my words cuz that’s really all i really have
reached out to my girl but she didn’t really know the half
and it’s bittersweet cuz the words i speak
mean nothing, unless there’s someone else to receive
eyes filling up with tears, for years i could see your fear
but i didn’t know we would ever end up here
and now that fear has swept over my senses
the past tense is where i have been living ever since you left
it’s hard and i do regret, every moment i missed and it’s true we met
under unusual circumstances, my advance was met
with the stamp of real romance and i could never forget
the times we shared, watch the sun dip into the sea
the silent nights, only ones awake were you and me
our thoughts were connected, i could hear you with no words
but now you’re gone and your memory has weakened to a blur

s o i block you out, the blur is unbearable
keeps coming back to me, it’s so terrible
you told me once you would hold me up
but now you’ve let me down and i can’t get up (2X)

i can’t get up because i hold myself down
restricted by inhibitions that were never profound
my plans were simple, it was you and then the future
you came first, because i’m not your typical suitor
i remember three years back, when i was at your place
unexpected phone call, late night, left me to embrace
news of a death, but i knew i was blessed
you were alive in my heart even though news was of death
i got the message, that life was uncertain
one minute you’re dancing, the next second it’s curtains
the times up, but the world just keeps on spinning
one of my fondest friends taken out in the first inning
so sudden, so tragic, so temporary
buried you next to the saints in the cemetery
and my love was there when the unfortunate occurred
but at this moment i am alone and her vision is a blur

so i block you out, the blur is unbearable
keeps coming back to me, it’s so terrible
you told me once you would hold me up
but now you’ve let me down and i can’t get up (2X)
