Whispers in the dark

When we’re alone, you call me your woman

You hold me close like I’m all you’re wanting

Eyes like oceans, hands so warm

But your silence takes a colder form

And when you’re gone, I see your face

Lighting smiles in another space

Sometimes you act like I’m not there

Talking with others like I’m just air

And I…

I don’t give my heart away too fast

But I believed this love could last

If you loved me, why’d you drift away?

Why let their eyes steal what we made?

You tell me I’m your only one

Then dim my light when the night is done

I should walk away, I know I could

But I still hold on more than I should

If you loved me…

Why does it feel like you don’t?

You wear the mask with flawless grace

But I see through the smile on your face

They know things I gave only you

Now your truth is tangled, blurred, untrue

You made me feel I was enough

But your love moves in shadows rough

And I…

I’ve been alone for far too long

Thought with you I’d found where I belong

If you loved me, why’d you hide your face?

Why turn my trust to a broken place?

You look at me like I’m your home

But turn away, and I’m left alone

I should be stronger, try to be gone

But I still stay where I don’t belong

If you loved me…

Why does it feel like you don’t?

You say it’s nothing, you swear it’s true

But I can see straight through the things you do

You drag my love from place to place

While I’m the one left with the shame

If you loved me, why’d you bleed me slow?

Smiling wide while you let it show

I gave you pieces I’ve never shown

Now I’m the fool standing alone

I could end this now, fade into the night

But you’re the only wrong that ever felt right

If you loved me…

Why does it feel like you don’t?

I don’t fall often…

And now I don’t think I ever will again.
