Fade to Grey
It's cold out here on the white concrete of my front porch where I stand clutching the cordless just as I have a million times before.
I hear your steady voice, but salty tears stream down my pale face and I can taste them as I try to hold on to you.
Everytime I try to speak, words get away from me and the sky just fades to grey.
As hard as I tried and as much as I cried, things aren't supposed to go this way.
I know that you lied, but let's please go inside and shut the world away.
I'll pretend it's okay and we'll call it a day and watch the stars come out tonight.
Life is life, but things aren't right. It's a long way down, but baby, I'll come around to your crazy way of life.
Just one more time and I'll change your mind. I promise you'll have your way.
Hold me again, but don't call me your friend, because the sky still fades to grey.
