roam

Serious affection, I love you too much
Just wave goodbye to me in my sorry state
sorrowful understanding I feel too much

I'm a plague of need
your restless spirit would never allow
soulful rebellion I cling to the hope
of us seeing each other eye to eye
but I can't bring myself to gaze into your azure pools
knowing they dream of other places

my melancholy ache speaks to your manhood
there's a part of you who desires a woman like me
a protective part of you

a gentle mockingbird singing everyone else's song
forgetting my own unless I startle you into realizing my pain
Never one to burden, I'll let you go

longing for your happiness
my thoughts go elsewhere, and I touch you casually
and my hands burn your flesh because you see through me

right down to my depths
you hunger for all of me, the realness of me
to satisfy your lonesomeness

to heal your brokenness
my heart speaks to your passions
you will carry me wherever you roam
and it breaks bits of me to know
We were so close
