I just grew

A little confused

Ever since we’ve been apart.

Daydreaming about the way things are–

I’ve seen love go by my door.

I struggled through barbed wire

She did whatever she had to do

We had a falling out, like lovers often will

Not a word was spoken between us

But she got all the love.

I’ve seen pretty people disappear like smoke

Burned out from exhaustion

I see a lot of people–

I’ve seen that face somewhere.

They say the darkest hour is

right before the dawn

It’s never been this close before

I can’t help it if I’m lucky

But I can make it through.

How long must I wait?

Because I was born too late
