To Fall or Be Forgotten
would it be so bad
if You took Me home?
would it be so bad
if we sat and watched the rain?
and would it be evil
if I held Your hand,
and touched Your hair,
and kissed You?
how would it feel
to You?
(...oh,no ...)
You tease and tempt,
but leave no trace
speak now, or forever hold Your peace
we’ve the chance to fall or be forgotten
speak now, or forever hold Your peace
we’ve the chance to fall
or be forgotten
should I have cried
to make You love Me?
or should I have screamed
to make You hear?
why do You make Your heart—
Your body—
so alien to Me?
speak now!
this Boy has hurt You,
but now, He bleeds,
and I think it’s time
He be forgiven
speak now, or forever hold Your peace
we’ve the chance to fall
or be
forgotten
if You took Me home?
