Cruelest Joke

night has left and the sun begins to raise it's tired eyes.
are you awake?
shut tight, the blinds lock out the day
and with steady hands i pray for sleep again.
your song is on but it won't sing to me no longer.
i walked through fire to beg for you to stay.
one time you proclaimed naked in bed;
"my dear, you are lost".
and i believed.
but i can't pretend it's fine anymore.
we all long to be inside a lover's arms.
like a sailor scanning the seas for wreckage on distant shores.
it's breaking my heart.
now you're breaking my heart.
if you're listening then listen to me.
if you're listening you'll hear the joke of the century.
the cruelest joke that will ever be.
