themes: bitterness, unrequited love, abandonment
we rise together in the dawn
i brush your cheeks into my memory
hushed whispers floating in the halls
i kiss your fingertips as you go
through all the drunken laughter
you never notice my silence
instead i was the only joke
i didn't understand until too late
like a dream you can't wake up from
i'm trapped within your hold
yet another person blind to me
even after i showed you everything
as we draw on to dusk
you can walk away from me
even the sun can burn too bright
and i am the one that's forgotten
i laid it all down for you
but i shouldn't have expected more
you have me wrapped around your finger
yet you tangled the twine of my heart
watching through the window glass
my pain runs deep to the bones
you're the only one laughing
but you would never even know
