Secrets Don't Make Friends

Looking back, I feel so old,

the memories are just lies we've told.

Can't erase the sound of your voice,

though I would if I had the choice.

Look at me through blurry eyes,

I know you can't stand to hear my cries.

Was it me, or was it you

who finally decided we were through?

But our secrets don't make friends,

it's so damn hard to begin again.

Lying out here in the rain,

drowning hope in my crimson pain.

The sunlight fades into dark,

Even though you're gone, you left your mark.

Take back the words that you said.

I'd rather you leave me for dead.
