I'm writing these words with emotion as if I'm staring at you in the eye,
Saying to you and you know I wouldn't even lie.
These days you've been distant and so cold,
I looked at you in the eye and your stare turned me into ice.
What happened to us? I thought we were doing fine?
Could it all have been an illusion of mine?
I know I've failed you so many times,
But I never imagined you'd draw the lines.
I'm sorry baby, I'm ready to pay the fine,
Just let me know the price and please don't roll the dice.
Don't fade away — don't leave me,
'Cause I don't want to fall out from your life.
And then I realize, in slumbers haze here I am,
Hoping for the day that you'll truly be mine
