The Ponytail Parades

Three sleepless nights

This isn't how it's supposed to be

But you're so good at taking your time

To get back to me

I will wait for you forever

If you would just ask me

I thought that I could change you

But you changed me

It doesn't feel right

Holding someone else's hand

Together on phone lines

And living at two opposite ends

It scares me to think that you could find takers

Other than me and better than me

But your head is elsewhere

And I'm talking enough for both of us

When will you see it's not (it's not) so easy for me

You're careless and whispered (I fall in your heart)

Insulting and bruising (You I trusted)

And I thought that you said (And you said)

Things were improving (Forever)

These laces are untied (Forever)

But my feet are through walking away

Away

I never thought that you could say these words

Is this really happening

I never thought that you could say these words (Don't say)

Is this really happening

I never thought that you could say these words (Don't say)

Is this really happening (that we can)

I never thought that you could say these words (Don't say)

Is this really happening (that we can still be)

I never thought that you could say these words (Don't say)

Is this really happening (that we can still be friends)

Erase my name from this page!

How can you take all these days (What is inside me, what have I done)

And throw them away (Is this the only way that you will notice me)

As I sit here waiting for you (Dead words for closed ears, all this is sung)

For you, for you!

I stay up nights (If you are still pretending this is what's right)

Until stars leave the sky (Why can't you look at me, can you only listen one side)

Knowing your mind can (Your side, can)

Take away!

Walk away from me!

This night is done!
