Keep hope alive

If I wanted to hang all your pictures on my wall -
I would have trusted you.
It's the memory, misty reverie,
and I see it when I hold you:
 
there's the heart on page
drawn around my name.
The more things change -
the more they stay the same.
 
So don't give me that story.
You damp down old flames, when it's over.
Now my heart is sober, fool my mind.
I'm staying in my bed all night,
everything looks better, when there is no light.
All I do is loose your face, but still keep hope alive.
 
I get on train.
It's about half past eleven,
I'll be home in twenty hours.
The longest night filters my consciousness.
I can forget, drown all my troubles.
You escaped this town,
remember how you talked it through?
So if you did it then, I'll do it too.
 
So don't give me the reason.
You could be the heat,
all the season.
Now I try to breathe in,
leave behind.
I'm crying in my room all night,
and the summer made you run away with afterlight.
In the darkest times I can't see your lines.
 
Sun sets.
Starry sky, as I miss your traits.
My home is missing place, miss your grace.
I could look for your trace,
and the autumn took away your sparkling lights.
In the darkness I can't seem to see your lines.
 
Put out midnight lies,
stay still, but times fly.
I won't call you again,
I won't rain on your parade.
I'll move to New York state,
so tell your friends, that you heard about me,
I got my fame,
and you wonder, if it's really me or frame.
You can't stand the picture I became,
when all the bridges burned with oldest flames.
 
Everything looks clearer with no lights.
Only me and you dark.
