Beneath The Surface

Is there ever really a right time You had led me to believe Someday you`d be there for me When the stars above aligned When you weren`t so consumed I kept looking for the clues So I waited in the shadows of my heart And still the time was never right Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface A shell of what things could have been Tired bones beneath a veil of guarded secrets all too frail Sad to think I never knew You were searching for the words For the moment to emerge Yet the moment never came You couldn`t risk my fragile frame Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface I would scream just to be heard As if yelling at the stars I was bleeding just to feel You would never say a word Kept me reaching in the dark Always something to conceal Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface
