lyrics

When the sun sets on the hillside, and the yellows fade to black. I still hear your footsteps at the front door. You're curious to think, that a part of me still misses you. Well, maybe I do.

But, I'm lying to myself. Self Deprecating. Contemplating if I'm worth your time or not.

It's just the little things, I need some sympathy. And in the morning we could lay there for a while, in denial. Like, we have no better place to be. Or so it seems.

A slow burn, turning deep inside my chest and I still feel the empty space between the counterpoint of hope and misery.

I'm still the same, yet ever changing, A blurry picture fading of you and me. A love affair with who I used to be.

A splinter in the end of fingertips, pushes deeper just to disappear and I know that you're still there. Stinging every time I play on my guitar.

But, you move in fluid emotion. Is it true that we're fading away, like each day is a different person, in a picture I found before moving away.

A token of my appreciation. A way to seem a little less jaded. I'm everything to everyone but me.

A slow burn, turning deep inside my chest and I still feel the empty space between the counterpoint of hope and misery.

I'm still the same, yet ever changing, A blurry picture fading. The diaries of all the times we wasted.
