Love's Surrender

And you drink the wine from your glass
as the twilight band plays our song.
And I hope that feeling will pass
because a hundred proof is not that strong.

I made a mess of everything
and those thoughts they collapse my mind
and my friends all say I'm crazy
but I'll take crazy over broken, anytime.

Does it take away the pain that I left here?
Does it fade away the memories,
the broken hopes and broken dreams?
Did you ever even miss me?
Your love is gone, or so it seems.

But I can still hear you breathing
from the picture on my wall.
So how far gone can you possibly be?
How far down do I have to fall?

And you said "please, please don't follow.
Please, please don't you dare."
You were busy walking on a tightrope,
too old to notice and too young to care.

Does it take away the pain that I left here?
Does it fade away the memories,
the broken hopes and broken dreams?
Did you ever even miss me?
Our love is gone, or so it seems.

The subtle, hollow moonlight,
drowning in its own grace
reminds me of your steady hands,
reminds me of your gorgeous face.
And even in the midnight darkness
I still see your tears and your hand and your heart.
How can I miss you still
when all we are is a world apart?

And I'll still say the wrong words
because I'm a coward to your love.
And how do I move on
and where do we go from here, my love?
Maybe if we lie...

Does it take away the pain that I left here?
Does it fade away the memories,
the broken hopes and broken dreams?
Did you ever even miss me?
Your love is gone, or so it seems.

But I'm still here
singing love's surrender.
Sweetly whispering sounds
into the twilight band's glass.
