Bang his head against the wall,
Waiting for someone to hear his call, weeping eyes gone dry.
The thoughts feel like they're caving in,
hoping someone will let him in, after days and years gone by.
They're packing up, they're leaving him,
as time goes by more people will, he's got left behind.
The feeling beneath, they fade away.
He's clinging on but they won't stay, drifting day by day.
Stay with him, breathe each others air.
Stay with him, cause you are the only one who cares.
Stay with him, lead his heart to somewhere new.
Stay with him, reach out to him, but be true.
Now your the last one in his life,
your precious eyes are all he needs, won't you keep him close.
The softness of your trembling lips,
your sky blue eyes your tender kiss, won't you remember this.
Two broken hearts are now as one,
binding the moon and the sun, now darkness lays with light.
Two broken hearts are now eclipsed
through the wetness of their lips, yin and yang combine.
