January Embers

Let the rain run over my lips
Chilling  felt like your fingertips
Just  thought that maybe you might
Sun through the storm like a little light
My skin lingered on your skin
I  remember softly lifting your chin
I  looked into your eyes and you dropped your disguise
Said to myself, "Let me in"

And  I waited far too long to have your lips on mine
When you're holding me, our hearts just seem to beat in time
I know that all my words just sound like a bunch of lies
But your laugh alone could make me cry

I  could always find you in that crowd
It's so hard not to cry my thoughts aloud
And I can't wipe my smile, I look like a little child
But you're gorgeous, girl, inside and out
And I know I broke your heart a time or two
And you felt as though you had been used
My confusion met your walls but now you try to give up on us
Without you, love, my heart ached in blue

And I waited far too long to have your lips on mine
When you're holding me, our hearts just seem to beat in time
I know that all my words just sound like a bunch of lies
But your laugh alone could make me cry

And at times I act like I'm just fine
But every minute I ask why you aren't mine
And it's my fault alone
But my fears start to show
When I speak from so deep inside
When the lights go down, people roll out
Breath to neck was the only sound
A future we just couldn't see
But tonight is just you and me
Just speak to me softly
Softly

And I waited far too long to have your lips on mine
When you're holding me, our hearts just seem to beat in time
I know that all my words just sound like a bunch of lies
But your laugh alone could make me cry

And at times I act like I'm just fine
But every minute I ask why you aren't mine
So just take my hand and fly us through the night
'Cause you've always been my little light
