Pure Daylight

I cannot help but wonder about
Your intentions on those wine colored nights
I cannot help but fret about
Your avoidance of me in pure daylight

Our twisted games of cat and mouse
Your ruthless ways of helping me out
Our chanced midnight reverence
Your prejudice toward fulfilling promises

For all that you gave, all you intended
I'll never forget your torrid eyes
For all that you wanted, all that you took
I'll never forgive your benevolent mouth

If I could stay here safely, you must know
I would stay here forever and a day
If I could say this gently, you must know
I would whisper it to you while you slept

I have to break out of this cycle we are in
It's truth to say you're just a phase
I have to move on to a better place
It's truth to say we are not cut out for this

To me, you will be more than I'd care to confide
To you, I will be less than you'd like to say
To me, you will be a tragically beautiful memory
To you, I will be a chance trick of the sunlight
