Hem

"The streetlights on sidewalks in cold midnight blue

Their warmth feels so strange with my lonely heart’s tune

This endless routine spins around and won’t undo

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew

The frayed hem of a shirt I’ve worn out thin but true

It clings to the memories I still hold of you

Though weary, I wander beneath the brightness of the moon

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew

Still, I’m longing for you

Whether you’re here or in view

I know it's worthless cause

We are over now

The longing that strikes, over and over again

Helplessly watching as it never ends

Finally, I just stopped caring

Feeling and crying

Everything completely tasteless

Because there's nothing to do, it’s still better this way

Thinking it through makes it easier to stay

Even if I try to blame, it’s all just in vain

Isn’t it enough? not yet? Why still feel this pain?

It's clear to everyone, like a zero-sum game, hey

So, I can feel just miserable shame

Hatred only eats me up from within

But I stay trapped, bound by this pain again

The streetlights on sidewalks in cold midnight blue

Their warmth feels so strange with my lonely heart’s tune

This endless routine spins around and won’t undo

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew

The frayed hem of a shirt I’ve worn out thin but true

It clings to the memories I still hold of you

Though weary, I wander beneath the brightness of the moon

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew

Endlessly thinking of you, only tortures me

To forget you would bring regret, you see

A lie to cover lies, is that my destiny?

Far from fulfilled, can’t break me free

No one's here

Still, I swear I hear

Your voice is crystal clear

This deep loneliness—how can I bear it?

Though I have tried to smile, to find a love

I can't

So forlorn, I've ever known

As the night

Drifts on by

Losing sight

The streetlights on sidewalks in cold midnight blue

Their warmth feels so strange with my lonely heart’s tune

This endless routine spins around and won’t undo

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew

The frayed hem of a shirt I’ve worn out thin but true

It clings to the memories I still hold of you

Though weary, I wander beneath the brightness of the moon

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew

The streetlights on sidewalks in cold midnight blue

Their warmth feels so strange with my lonely heart’s tune

This endless routine spins around and won’t undo

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew

The frayed hem of a shirt I’ve worn out thin but true

It clings to the memories I still hold of you

Though weary, I wander beneath the brightness of the moon

Still, I’m bound to you in the room with sorrow I knew
