Because I Cannot Be Your Angel
I wish that I could tell you,
About all my seasons of grey
I would tell you about the pain
That never seems to end
I would tell you about the joy
That I’d give anything to feel again
You would hold me like you used to
Stroke my wet hair and say:
“It was just a dream my darling,
Safe within my arms you can lie and stay.”
For a moment I’ll believe you
Then I see in your eyes
That fear, that’d I’d inherited
Everything you feel or can’t feel inside.
And though upon your warm shoulder
Sleep will take me at last
I know my words leave you colder
With a sickness that refuses to pass
More lonesome nights would come and go
As we both lay awake
Tears as dry as bone run so slow
Knowing what for us is always at stake
Tomorrow I will lie to you
A smile upon my face
Like an angel I slept, it’s true
I will never show you even a trace
Of a single salt trail below
Eyes as blue as the sea
Though I’m not the angel you know
I shall forever your guardian be.
