Unspoken Words

City Lights

April 3, 2017 : 245 AM

City lights so beautiful but they remind me of you

------

Busy streets, lots of people

Pacing back and forth 

Time was moving so fast 

I can't catch up

I'm still here going back 

to the city lights 

Looking back at those times

The time that you were mine

When our hands intertwine

We were each other's company

Now all we can say is sorry 

The light ran out 

It faded away 

just like your love 

that I thought would stay 

The back of my mind saying 

Why can't we just start over

Time had you changing 

before it was me, now it's her

Crazy how I felt safe 

Once in the warm embrace 

In the light of your love

I didn't want to escape

But you wanted to let go

What was my mistake?

You were ready to put everything at stake

Now I'm wondering why I sank so low

I cried so many nights

Under the same city lights

No one to hold the pieces you broke

Passing by were the faces

we used to see everyday 

now it's just me 

on the gutter by the street 

There were those city lights

Lighting up the dark night

The sparks used to be there

In the way you held me tight

I can't breathe every time

I try to exhale the pain

but I see the city lights 

City lights that remind

Memories left behind..
