The Grief Of Light

A northern girl, an honest smile;
convenient boy to keep around while
all along you played the part;
out of love right from the start.

In the dark where you hide,
the grief of light left on your mind.
What you did can't be undone.
You broke the boy whose heart was sun.

You strike the match to keep the flame,
barely alive but barely tame.
You watch the smoke that disappears,
making notes of how it veers.

You take the train in the dead of night.
Run your mouth, never learned to bite
the sting of words. What a way to hurt;
you seek the wound to make things worse.

In the dark where you hide,
the grief of light left on your mind.
What you did can't be undone;
you broke the boy whose heart was sun.
You ran away, avoid the blame;
the sweet girl turned out such a shame.
Hope you don't forget just who you are.
You can shut it out, but it's never far.

You found a love, you burned it down.
A soul like that won't come around
to anyone, again for you;
you held the heart and turned it blue.

You stole the show, you burned the page.
The fire will transcend to another age.
You kissed the boy the kiss of death.
You took the sky, there's nothing left.

A sea of stars has drowned away.
Silenced the words, nothing to say.
Of all the fates you could have won,
the one you had was the only one

worth something real, something more.
Time moves on back to before
you found a love, you stole it's life.
Blood on your soul, him on your mind.

In the dark where you hide,
the grief of light left on your mind.
What you did can't be undone;
you broke the boy whose heart was sun.
You ran away, avoided the blame.
The sweet girl turned out such a shame.
Hope you don't forget just who you are.
You can shut it out, but it's never far.

What you did can't be undone.
You broke the boy and killed the sun.

Blood on your soul, him on your mind.
Hope it follows you for all of time.
