Fled to a sunshine state
Left on an opaque plain.
The worst, you heard, is still yet to come
nightly reminder ignites the run.
A weak heart is set on stuck
and hope’s lost in before.
Tears swept under the rug
Seems like they’ll never come.
As you watched the rubber starting to run
Hot pursuit, could not keep up.
He begs, “please return to me”
But it’s all lost in before.
All lost in before.
The first one hurt but the second’s worse
Keep on pushing it back.
Press into familiar skin
Unsure when you’ll touch it again.
Drive with the blinders on
Assailing so serene.
Face is constructing a salty stream.
A baleful black takes over the scene
While love bathes in a vitamin sheen.
The worst, you heard, is still yet to come
Daily reminder renders you stunned.
Holding on to a longing gone
It’s all lost in before.
All lost in before.
You’re lost in before.
