David & The Citizens - A 1000 Questions for You lyrics

A thousand pages all about you in a darkened room A thousand questions I have asked you, like a 5-year-old A hand over my mouth, still questions pop out The city was a sparkling diamond, but a hidden secret kept under her sweaty T-shirt In the salty water A hand over my eyes, still I can see it all I meant to dress you up in words And paint a picture of our love But the memory is fading and soon you'll be gone You came and you left my life in a shadow Every morning I would walk through empty parks Just as the sun came up to k** the dark Biting my tongue to keep the screams down And I felt like an empty shell, I was not myself Not who I used to be when you walked with me Something about you made me complete I meant to be there when you fell I meant to be steady and calm I thought I was hardened, I thought I was strong But you came and you left my life in a shadow Take my longing, drown it in the sea, it's just a memory of something never meant to be Not for me And I will be quiet when I've asked the questions I need And there's a thousand pages all about you in a darkened room A thousand questions I have asked you, like a 5-year-old A hand over my eyes, still I can see it all Take care, don't mess yourself up I'm still waiting for our roads to cross And I won't be angry, I know it'll pa** You came and you left my life in a mess
