Powder

For E.H. (she knows exactly who she is)

----------------------------------------------------------

This is my last regret
As she said as she said goodbye
Turn and run, there’s no going back
Time isn’t with you anymore
And it won’t be long till your heart burns
Don’t think you’ll make it to the other side
Maybe one day, at the end of time

She isn’t gone for long
So what makes him start to feel alone?
Leaving behind an unborn baby girl
When he was happy it was okay
She never knew where he had gone
He’s not the same man anymore
Was it really worth the shame?

How can you move on with your life?
There’s nothing left but what’s inside
She knows he’s not the same
He hid away, and knew no reflection
Nothing will change him till he ends his life
It was a selfless way to go
That little girl was left behind as they moved on

Later on, the stars are going down
The darkness and the pain of rejection
It just took you down so hard
Who would have guessed it?
Keep saying it’ll be alright
It’s never to late to patch up the holes
Baby, there’s no point trying anymore

Now, again, you try
The world we knew won’t come back
The life we had, it’s already gone
It will never be the same
Down on the corner, it’s not over
Remember that nice man behind that scarred face
Look in the mirror, the heart lies inside.
