A perfect summer night;
moon shining in the sky,
fireflies surround us
as the light leaves our eyes.
We pay no attention to them,
so lost in our own thoughts,
that we didn't realize,
what was right before our eyes.
Their lights flick on and off,
much like our feelings do.
happy, sad, happy, sad,
what are we supposed to do?
We try to talk it out,
but our speech is a bit slurred,
regardless of the smoke,
our little friends stayed undeterred.
I felt like you saw right through me,
but they saw me plain and clear.
They could see the hurt;
something you mistook for fear.
Anxiety gets the best of you,
is there any room for me?
All you do is judge me,
for things I don't even see.
I haven't changed at all,
I've been here all along.
Do you know how hard it is?
To try to stand so tall?
With everyone leering at you,
breaking down your walls;
you're all that I have left,
so, before this castle falls;
I just wanted you to know,
that I'm not hiding any thing.
I need you to trust me,
I can't stand the sting...
your anxiety is killing me,
and the fireflies know;
because they paid attention;
and helped me see with their soft glow...
that maybe we can't fix this,
maybe we're too far gone.
So please just lay here with me,
and we'll watch just one more dawn;
together.
