From your lips

And the wisdoms pour
From your lips
Tumbling to the floor
Shattering on impact
Because they didn't
Hold much weight
Never does
Never will
Wisdoms from the mouth
Of a fool...
And the rain comes down
So hard
Furious and fast
Or is that my tears?
And I think I see lightning flashing
In the sky
Or was that your eyes?
You've given up on trying
You say you don't need me
Anymore
But, it was fun while it lasted
Wasn't it?
God, this can't be happening
What kind of a line was that?
Oh, but this is happening
And there's no place left
For me to run
'Cause I would always run to you
So, my pleasure is my pain
And my loss was once my gain
This is all twisted up
And broken beyond repair
And I can't hide
And I can't run
And is not a dream
Perhaps, a nightmare
Come to life
Nothing left but goodbye
But that's one word
I just cannot seem to say
So, I go to kiss you
One last time
And the movie seems to change
The kiss is different
Yet the same
A kiss that meant goodbye
Somehow changed into hello
