Christmas Pageant Angel

and if these eyes
were opened wider,
you could fall inside
like i fell for you.
and could these eyes
get any brighter
from the sight of you?
and if i tried
to hold my head up higher
and look alive,
i could pretend
that certain coversations
never took place.
and certain days
were only illusions.
so all that i can say
is you're beautiful.
but i am just a stolen moment of your thoughts now.
you might have taken me
from low and miserable,
but that is where you left me.
and were you hiding
from all those honest words in vain?
when i take that train
to hear you say my name
and then head home.
(and then head home).
so all that i can say
is you're beautiful.
but i am just a stolen moment of your thoughts now.
you might have taken me
from low and miserable,
but that is where you left me.
and there's something to be said
for the vast expanse of an empty bed.
and when you're gone
and i'm alone,
i see that it's still filled with thoughts of us
that's all that's left of you.
and all that i can say
is you're beautiful.
but i am just a stolen moment of your thoughts now.
you might have rescued me
from low and miserable,
but that is where you left me.
(where you left me).
