My eyes are red and burned
From the loss of sleep
And the hopelessness I bleedThe man on the moon
Told me to hold my head up
For I'll find whatever it is I seek
And whatever it is I dreamThe man on the moon
Spoke only of kindness
Promising my safety
Saying he loves meThe man on the moon
Filled me with dreams
Creating hope
Curating good thoughtsThe man on the moon
Had been a dream come true
When I had a broken heart
And one too many lost parts
The man on the moon was the only one who could hear me
No matter how farThe man on the moon
Went away too
He was all I had
And now everything is gone
It's been left in the past.
