Where We'll Shine Out

There you stood in a black tie and a black suit,
      You stood there with your heart in your hands
while the droplets of blood hitting the floor sounded off like drums at the beginning of war.
       I stood across the room with my hands
 plunged deep into my chest
       Why couldn't I pull out my heart to give to you?

I could see your lips move, forming words.
      you extended your arms towards me more and more.
I felt stuck to the floor when I tried to move,
     gravity was holding me down as best as it could.
Deep in my soul, All I wanted to do was run.

There you stood in a black tie and a black suit,
     I told you lies masked over with the gleam in your eyes.
The smile you displayed
      the guilt that overcame me,
Because you didn't know you were being betrayed,

I left my heart inside my chest. I spun around on my heels and I left.
