You’ve lost a little spark, my friend
Not so adventurous as you once were
Was it all just fantasy, a finely crafted lie?
Or was it just grim reality in disguise?

I thought once you were a goddess
The center of all I could ever dream
But you never truly seemed to notice
As you never once seemed to know this

The color of your eyes still haunts me
And whenever I see it I fall ill once more
Something in the grey corners of the mind
Awakens the memory of you inside

I found a light in the eyes of another
The very same color as yours, in fact
But it wasn’t the face that reminded me
It was the song, so sweetly, that she sang

The lyrics could’ve been written for us
I still feel you in my bones, the loss of you
Still kills inside my sore and sunken chest
Please take my broken heart away

I just don’t need it anymore…
The dream is over, dead and gone…
And neither of us is so adventurous…
Our voyage together is no more…
