Idle Words Forsake Me

With pen and paper in hand

I pour out my soul for all to read

This is how I bleed.

I'd like to blame it on a moment of weakness,

but it was a moment of stupidity.

Now you're gone

And I'm left to bleed.

I saw a piece of heaven, but it was locked

inside your eyes when you sent me away.

It cast me back to hell

And now I'm left to bleed.

The phone rang this morning

I caught my breath and prayed

But it wasn't your voice on the line.

You weren't calling to say you love me,

You're gone,

And I'm left to bleed.

Everywhere I look, I see you.

All that I consume tastes like you.

My world has grown cold without you.

With pen and paper in hand

I pour out my soul for all to read

This is how I bleed

FOR YOU.
