I used to know the lyrics to your grin

And when it was true, I would sing along

But now your frown will only preach its sins

And I fear I’ve lost the words to your song

When you laugh, I almost forget the scars

Even though I see them before my eyes

In your eyes, I once could count all the stars

Now, your deep black holes come as no surprise

I wonder what it was like way back then

If it was better or I was just blind

But I’d give all to hear that song again

If you’ll just sing, I’d gladly keep the time

You are my hero, though it seems naïve

The ones who leave you all just misperceive.
