Oh my love, you're in and out and about, just come in. Come home to me, give me a simple moment and you'll see - nobody could love you like I love you. Guarded, guided, guilty of all of the above, I like to like you, you like to watch me crumble. But when the games are over and reality sets in, I'm torn in two as you walk through the crowd alone. I'm patient, I'm willing, you're decisive and I can only know you when you let me. Trapped, tired, tangible evidence of a heart led astray. Who is to say what's right in the game of tossing a deck of cards into the air and seeing how many cards you can catch? I'm just a sucker for your tricks, I'm a pawn in your procession of persons. Oh but we both know this can't be right, as I'm searching for the light you offer me the back of your bedroom door. Fumbling in the darkness, I can't stand to tell you how I feel. Precious, alive, turning the tables as you speak the words I don't dare say... and I can't reiterate, because I'm afraid of what may come of them. Much later I must realize that it's these mistakes that land me in my perpetual position of lonely, and I'm to blame, I know I'm to blame. Whoever gets to spend their smiles with you and share a little bit of your sunshine is a lucky woman indeed. I'm still searching for a sign.
