All or Nothing (All for Nothing)

All or Nothing (All for Nothing) Perfection screams As it shreds away at my heart; My innocent dreams Are no more than fantasy and farce. I cannot have what I yearn, For you are too far away; I watch you slip away in the distance; As this rope begins to fray... Nine months Without seeing your face, You strut back into my life; And then leave from the same place. All of those words Can’t have been untrue, I think back to where we lie; Side by side; Where there was nothing else but you. Thoughts of yesterday Seer through my mind; You were a different person today; I’m tired of loving your kind. Connected by chemistry, Yet you play games with my head; Open your eyes; Because this is far from dead... Nine months Without seeing your face, You strut back into my life; And then leave from the same place. All of those words Can’t have been untrue, I think back to where we lie; Side by side; Where there was nothing else but you. © EMC 2007
