Can you see me darling, in this light?
I'm talking to the shadows. Can you recognize?
Were we once lovers?
Were we once lovers?
I can remember the feeling of fingertips
Tracing the shape of my mouth, between my teeth
Lips down a line that’s whispering forgotten sighs

Were we once lovers?

How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
