I want to reach you but I can't  Why is
everything in your heart numb?
Like time stopped and you couldn't feel anymore
All good things in life never last
Was that what you said?

I want to know the day
You told yourself that
throwing the key to your heart away
Was going to help you become
stronger

Your fears and wants are
Tangled in a tightly knit ball
Snowballing into an avalanche
Of grey lies you tell yourself

But for now I
Glance at you from afar
And I notice how your eyes
are vacant and empty
But you're laughing at someone's joke

I promised you I'd stay away
Sweared it on my favourite sweater
But you know that
I'm already too entangled in your mess of grey.
