Loss of Time
I ran down to the river
When I heard you cry
I tried so hard to understand
What happened to us
I feel as though there was no us
No us of any importance
We seem to have drifted here
Run around there
We lost the stars along the way
We lost our hearts as well
As long as we're together
You would say
But now that's just not true

I thought about you
(I know you don't believe me)
During the lonliness in time
I even managed a tear
(bullshit.
------I heard you)
I no longer know the answers
To our complicated questions
I know I'm just an ass
Begging for attention
I'm sad to know that you
Knew it all along
I guess it's not that easy
To speak your mind to me
I always thought it was
I suppose I was wrong

Now I guess we're happy
Friends forever more
I will always remember
Our good times and our bad
Despite what may have happened
I love you after all
I know I always will
Your face is still burned
Into my pulsing heart

Farewell to lonliness
I shout
I want to be let out
I'll discover what I want
someday
Then I'll be ready for something
From someone, anyone?
