i can't erase the sun

have you ever listened to the silence?

when no words are traded, only sideways glances and quickened breaths

i let the air take my words last week but my tears hid them in the clouds 

it rained last night and i know the falling stars caught your eye

were you listening to the silence?

we haven't had a serious conversation in over a month and i miss the passion in your eyes

there are so many words i've said and i feel like i've told a million lies..

but they were lies i thought were true

things i thought i knew

but when i felt his hand in mine, all i could think of was you..

when i was in his arms watching the starts, all i longed for was your familiar heart beat

and when i lie down tonight, the only scene on replay was one you probably forgot

but yesterday is impossible to visit

and getting my heart to forget you is like erasing the sun in the sky

the memories are sun rays and these shadows are cast by nothing more than nets trying to catch the feelings before they reach me

but darling it was all in vain cause all i feel is the stillness of my heart every time you say my name

i'm looking at this summer and it all feels like a sunset to me

the clouds are setting in and the colors are filling my vission

but the sky is getting dimmer

and the clouds are losing color

and the memories are fading with the sun..

and i'm hoping you'll remember me..

you told me you'd regret getting close to me because i would be gone so fast..

but i hope you didn't really regret it

that you didn't truly regret me

i know you're sorry for the pain, but i'm not

i don't regret falling fast

or letting my chances go right by me

i don't regret you finding out

or the day i knew it was her

or even now, letting you know my heart is still clinging to your shadow

maybe i will tomorrow,

or even next week

but today, i can't get you off my mind

cause boy, i can't erase the sun.
