once knew

you know i can't believe you
all the things you say, they're not true

but i fear i can't just leave you
all i feel is that i need you, my love

this is all my spirit can take
any more and i will surely meet decay

won't you reach out, touch my heart-ache
feel it beating, please don't throw it away

i can't believe your careless lies
your burning eyes pass through me

i never thought our love would die
but how could i, i could not see


baby boy you know i need you
can't believe that you would leave me this way

if my pain will not appease you
so it please you, i've got nothing to say


i now begin to realize
you're not the boy i once knew
but deep beneath those hollow eyes
resides that dying part of you

of you
i will cry
cry for you
for you
i will cry
cry for you

curtains drawn, you shut the moon out
as though it were bright as sun in the day

i would crawl through the dementia
in your head, if you would show me a way

i can't believe your careless lies
your burning eyes pass through me
