The Reason Why I...

Location

 

Fireflies

In a wide black sky

You hold my heart

I hold you tight

Kiss my cheek

Please don’t leave

Baby, I’m here

You belong with me.

Summer breeze

Crashing waves

Sand and sun

Don’t be afraid,

I’m here for you

No matter what

We can do it,

Our love is tough

Baby, baby

Set me free

From all these happy

Memories.

Baby, baby

Break my chains

And break my heart

Once again.

Cold December,

Ice winds blow.

I fall into the fallen snow.

Leave me here,

I want to die

Under this starless

Pale moonlight.

Here you come,

You pick me up

‘Baby what’s wrong?’

‘He locked me out.

Broke his heart,

It’s all my fault,

Now please just let me

Fall apart.

Broken, bleeding,

Too much pain,

I miss the days

We danced in the rain.

The fireflies are still winking;

The sun keeps smiling;

The waves keep crashing;

And I keep falling.

Endless cycle,

Endless pain.

That is why

I slit my veins.
