They say the sun’ll come out tomorrow,
But it’s looking pretty bleak;
I wish I could avoid it,
I wish we still could speak.
I don’t want to be alone with you,
Don’t want to face the pain;
Because how can I smile and laugh
In the midst of all this rain?
I know we have problems
And there’s things we can work through;
But all you do is run away,
Leaving me puzzled and confused.
I wish I could have again what we had,
The spark, the glances, the smiles;
Or even if I just knew we were friends,
I feel answers could wait a while.
But you left me alone with doubts and questions,
Nothing answered or clear;
And now I see the effects of all that stress
Reflecting in every mirror.
I hope you have a reason,
And I wish I knew you cared;
Because the prospect of love (and the betrayal that follows)
Now leaves me cold and scared.
