Like a Drum.
I let you take my hand,
that night the sky was clear.
The words you spoke crushed me inside;
filling my heart with deep fear.
The stars began to fade,
the night grew dark and dim.
You pulled your hands away from mine;
leaving me hanging on a wim.
My mouth opened,
but the words couldn't come out.
The barrier was breaking;
I had no doubts.
My heart will heal in time,
I wipe the tears on my sleeve.
But it yearns for you;
calling, "please, don't leave".
Look at how strong I am now,
no longer stuck under your thumb.
I've learned that it was all a mistake;
you played me like a drum.
that night the sky was clear.
The words you spoke crushed me inside;
filling my heart with deep fear.
The stars began to fade,
the night grew dark and dim.
You pulled your hands away from mine;
leaving me hanging on a wim.
My mouth opened,
but the words couldn't come out.
The barrier was breaking;
I had no doubts.
My heart will heal in time,
I wipe the tears on my sleeve.
But it yearns for you;
calling, "please, don't leave".
Look at how strong I am now,
no longer stuck under your thumb.
I've learned that it was all a mistake;
you played me like a drum.
