Plastered
As the rain comes pouring
I realize what has been left behind
A picture of me with a sparkle in my eye
Dreams come and go
But this nightmare stays alive
As you broke me like glass I swore I’d never survive
As empty as the ocean and as strong as the pin
You didn’t give me all you had
Just to let go and push me in
I trusted your soul
That everything was right
Until the day I reach for your hand
And I fell into the night.
Again I walked and again I searched
But you were no where to be found
Until I saw your name in lights
Plastered to the ground.
