the words that i write

clicky...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
When you turn off the lights and say your goodnights
I'll keep you safe forever in the words that I write
Though your tiara's fallen crooked over your eyes
And your perfect lips have started telling lies
I'll save something different in the words that I write
It's the innocent you I'll immortalize
When you cant even be saved by soft candlelight
I'll just turn and remember these words that I write
And the carnival mirror your glory reflects
Telescopes your blemishes to infinitesimal specks
And since deceit is all the rage
I'll keep the real you on this page
I'll keep you locked inside paper and ink
No matter how you change and how you think
I'll always remember in fondest recall
The wonder of your light before your fall
I'll write you a story, I'll write you a song
It'd be what you want, but the words all wrong
That's why I'm writing, writing to tell
The you I used to know so well
Sometimes when you laugh I can still hear your voice
Who you used to be, long before you made the choice
But you're still so convinced your decisions are right
So I'll take you and keep you in the words that I write
Well the pavement, it came rushing towards you
The eyes were so blind, or at least they ignored you
With your eyelids all closed and your mouth slipping open
I read in the harsh silence the words you could've spoken
They rang with intoxication as I held you in my arms
These arms that I promised would keep you from all harm
And since I failed you that ill-fated night
I'll keep you safe forever in these words that I write
