What Happened to August?
Oh, Leo
such potential
mind brilliant with your pencil
no stencil
dreams and ideas
that float away
you never made them
residential
Oh, Leo
how I would bleed
love's passion isn't
all that I need
I wasn't late, I simply
never arrived I was
stuck in your stagnancy
like a vice
Couldn't you have stayed with me?
Baby, stay with me
I'd lead you through the trenches
guard your senses
show you how the path goes
watch all your budding and growth
I'd brush off your wings
to teach you to fly
just trust me
Why don't you?
Romeo with touching palms
and sweet words for Juliet
star-crossed, but destined for tragedy
and I can't let that happen to me again
you could come with me
I would be your sweet lady
I need you to catch me
don't just watch me walk away
I'm switching sides
time
all this time I've been without you
a distant memory
but you're still close to me
feel your ghost when I arrive at the office
I drove the nails into the coffin
I gave you all my love
you lost it...
I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise
