Red cup of coffee in your perfect fingers,
A mess of broken speech in mine.
You said I’d never be a pop song singer;
I wasn’t dead enough inside.
You were right.
When we first met we were both drunk and shallow,
& you’re the only one who’s changed.
Your head’s a spinning wheel of blues and yellows,
& mine’s a symphony of greys.
Paint the walls of your house
With someone else’s words,
Change your hair or your car.
Paint the walls of your house
With someone else’s words,
But don’t forget who you are.
Dissected you in linear equations,
It came out colder than rehearsed.
I never dance until it’s way past midnight,
Like Cinderella in reverse.
It’s a curse.
You’ve got your books,
I’ve got my insecurities,
To fill the gaps inside our brains.
Lose me in the memories of last month’s magazines
& lock whatever’s left away.
Paint the walls of your house
With someone else’s words,
Change your hair or your car.
Paint the walls of your house
With someone else’s words,
But don’t forget who you are.
