The Day it All Changed

Three words flow from your lips and to my ears,
Triggering a violent reaction inside me
All my dreams, hopes, passions collide and shatter
You look at me, I look at you
No need to ask “When”, “how”, “why”
They say betrayal has no excuse

I can't breathe...

The lack of air drains me,
And the flash of anger dissolves away,
Throwing me into a tailspin of despair.
You look at me, I look at you,
No longer sure if I know you anymore
When did it all change?

Am I breathing?...

Your eyes, your mouth, your body tell me conflicting things
“I’m sorry”, “I love you”, “I need to leave you”
“Bloody hell”, I scream,
You look at me, I look at you
Oh my God! Oh my God!! I cry inside!
Why did it all change?

I want to stop breathing...

A tear falls from my eye, a sigh escapes from your lips
You take my hand. I look away.
Conflicting emotions, no words to say
You look at me, I look at you
The sun still shines brightly on the street outside
Who said anything really changes?

You tell me to breathe...
