country music

I had hoped that you would be here from now on,
But memories of us are all I have left to dwell upon,
And I loved you like nobody loves you,
And you earned my trust,
But all that's left to show are these memories of us,
And you stole my attention,
But did so with apprehension,
So I wonder if there is to be life after this,
Will you still meet me with that warm, wet kiss?

See country music has ceased to play,
Since the very day you went away,
Because it once spoke softly your dedicated words,
But now it speaks a language I wish I had never heard,

Now it is me who needs to drown out this pain,
The one who needs shelter from this incessant rain,
This tight rope's unravelled and I've fallen apart,
On the count that you're gone and there's a void in my heart,
I have failed to navigate this runaway track,
And now that you're gone you're not coming back,
Our fate is uncertain, is our distance too far?
Or will you someday again rest in my arms?

For now country music has ceased to play,
Since the very day you went away,
Because it once spoke softly your dedicated words,
But now it speaks a language I wish I had never heard.

borrowed time

The words of love you whispered,
The times you held my hand,
The kisses we exchanged,
And the many laughs we shared,
I realize, were all on borrowed time.

The nights I slept beside you,
The times you held me tight,
The long late-night conversations,
And the longing stares across the way,
I realize too, were all on borrowed time.

The love you gave me,
The heart you lent me,
The memories created,
Are fading slowly fading,
As we exhaust our borrowed time.
