Courtesy Call

So before you go, could you read my mind?
Cos lately i've lost control, and my chest weighs a ton
I've seen love, or at least i thought so. but maybe i was just too young to know the difference
For the sake of us both, could you cheer up some more?
This won't last past the door, i thought that was clear
Horns will sound, and it's off my shoulders
Maybe i've become too numb to love
I held you close and felt your soul beg for comfort, but i can't be home for you
You turned away and went to sleep, and when you woke up i was gone. what a big mistake
I've seen love, or at least i thought so. i've seen strength smashed and broken
