Melpomene

Something tells me that I'm left without a chance

In my suspicious attempts to get her close

Enough to close my lips around her smile

Now I can't close my eyes when she's around

And she is around

Passing like the wind that shapes the clouds

She is around, she is around

I don't know how, but suddenly it's been a while

And we've been walkin' in through that same front door

Undressing like there were no parts to hide

Calling each other names we never had

And you never heard

An unexpected turn, and we hit the curb

A stupid term, a fatal word

Flutter girl

Killing me with her sunshine

Sunshine

She's so unaware

That she's my Melpomene

You broke the code just like I'm sure you always do

Without intentions, but I know that's how I broke away from you

Now that the clouds are obsolete, I hope you landed on your feet

Without those evil demons keeping you reminded on

The wars they pulled us through as fragile hearts ran short of glue

As we're both running out of time and seek to drown the fact in wine

It should be honest and naive, like we should give, we should receive

I must be jaded, fading

Out of function into solitude

Flutter girl

Killing me with her sunshine

Sunshine

She's so unaware

That she's my Melpomene

Flutter girl

Killing me with her sunshine

Sunshine

She's so unaware

That she's my Melpomene
