Play The Role

You put your mark upon my eye the day I met you
I carried it ‘round with me like all my cares were see-through
And even when I washed it off, I felt its gentle sting within me
You killed me

You held my hand upon the streets I would walk with you
Our life was building and all our plans were seen through
And even when we’d disagree, our fights would end with “I love you”

I’ve never come across a more perfect scene
Someone in ruins meets someone in need
You decide who plays which role
Two hearts who haven’t seen enough could never
Outlast the doubt that they’d shine together
Now I watch you shine alone

You’re floating on without me
You seem like you’re so happy
You’re floating on, so carefree
But you forgot about me
