Our Last Night- Better Than Ezra

We were standing in an empty room,
the moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
but those days were over.
You were calling my name when your face faded from view.

And wasn't it you who told me
the sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me...

Angels fly in the air tonight
saying, "wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?"
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
on our last night?

I remember waking up with you,
the days doing nothing.
You meant more to me then
than I think you ever knew.
But you were going to be a doctor, movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar.
I hope the world never tore that out of you.

And wasn't it you who told me
the sun would always chase the day?
Or was it just like those promises that you made?

And what ever happened to the things you loved,
the songs we played in the older days?
What ever happened to the things you gave away?

I was waving as you drove away.
The sunlight was falling.
You were writing backwards in a dusty windowpane.
"Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, "wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
on our last night?

For You, For Today.

Every day, I think about you.
Not a second goes by where you aren't there.
But do not feel proud.
I do not miss you.
The thoughts I have are not complimentary.
I despise everything that you now represent
because you stole the girl that I loved.
Now you are nothing like the person that I knew.
Now you are the fool who thinks you are in the right.

Everything you receive in this world is because of you
and only you.
Do not expel hatred onto the world and blame it for your sorrows.
Do not hurt those you love and say that they betrayed you.
This is how you lose the only ones who really care.

I see it now, how I spent so much time on you and received only one thing in return:
A release

You once said you were ready to forgive me.
I do not need your forgiveness.
I do not need your forgiveness, because you do not think that you need mine.
We both took punches, but we both gave them in return.
Your hands are not free of blood.
You are just blinded.

I think of you, but I do not miss you.
I loved you, but I do not love you.
