Lyric

I promised you that I would change

I swore I’d turn another page

But here I come with tears once more

Back to that stop, like times before

Remember that nun who stared at us?

I could barely hide my laugh

Me dressed like a man, you like a queen

Her finger wagged—what a holy scene

Why did you leave me?

Why did you leave me?

Now it’s hard just to turn on the TV

Can you believe it?

When you were near, I didn’t know

How it even worked—but now I know

I can't help it, though I try

I’m sorry I didn’t open my eyes

I’m sorry I didn’t fight before

For just a little moment more

I’m standing still, just waiting

For you to come back, for something changing

The moon is out—why won’t you reply?

The moon is out—

Why don’t you reply?

You liked to listen as time slipped by

You liked the rhythm of our sighs

You liked that I knew all your scars

You liked me whispering who we are

Now I can’t even think those words

My heart begins to scream

It doesn’t make sense, it falls apart—

Why does springtime always bleed?

Why are you so close to the sun?

Why, why—does none of this make sense?

This wind is driving me insane

It screams your name

It tells me never to stop

Never to stop

Yesterday I passed by again

They say a flower could ease your pain

I placed it gently near your name

And the words it whispered were…
